LG may not be known as a smartphone maker, but that could change during the next year. Apparently, the Korean giant plans to release 10 new smartphones and also wants to see them as “million sellers.”
According to Telecoms Korea’s report, “LG mobile phones made strides in hardware but remained weak in smartphones, which require sophisticated software. The priority should be put on software than making good-looking phones like Prada and Viewty.”
It is said that at least one of the new devices released in 2009 will run Windows Mobile. Other than that, LG is also considering Symbian and Linux-based smartphone. We know they’ve already developed S60 devices in the past. Furthermore, they are member of Google’s Open Handset Alliance. These two facts alone promise interesting news from Korea and we’re looking forward to hear more from them on the subject.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
