It looks like LG is really trying to hit the market hard with its high-end handsets. The South Korean company is prepping the release of their LG KU990 touch screen phone that looks suspiciously like the iPhone – well, to be fair, it’s more like the LG Prada Phone. The 3-inch touchscreen looks nice and bright, reminding us of the iPhone “Dominator.” But, unlike the “Dominator,” we’re not looking for the KU990 to sport any Windows Mobile OS – but we do expect it to pack a whopping 5 megapixel camera, FM radio, MP3 player, microSD slot, and HSDPA(!). Buzz and hype point to this 3G phone actually being a YouTube phone – capable of not only playing YouTube videos, but also shooting, editing (with the pre-loaded Muvee video editing software), and uploading the videos for all the world to see.
A release window and price point are unavailable at this time. But, we are looking for a European launch, possibly on Vodafone, sometime later this year. If this is the LG YouTube phone that we mentioned a little while ago, then the release window is a little off the mark.
We’re really starting to see a lot of YouTube enabled phones! Could this be the next big thing in mobile phones? Are manufacturers just trying to one-up the Apple’s YouTube-less (aside from the limit, built-in YouTube player, and rumored Flash updates) iPhone? Maybe a little of both? Whatever it is, we sure are interested to see how these things actually perform with YouTube – especially if the handsets lack the HSUPA (high-speed upstream) connection that may be needed to make video uploads less-than-excruciating.
