In its press release announcing Q4 and full-year 2012 financial results, LG said that it’s planning follow-up devices to Optimus G and the L-series as well as the new F-series. Hear that, F-series – that’s something new and we’re not sure what they’re talking about.
If I had to guess, the F-series devices will be phablets, smartphones with 5.3-inch and larger screens. That, however, is just my thinking and we’ll rather have to wait for Mobile World Congress to get some answers.
Back to LG’s results. The company has sold a total of 15.4 million mobile phones worldwide in Q4 2012, 8.6 million of which were (Android) smartphones, generating a revenue of $2.58 billion. The figure represents a notable (23%) growth over the third quarter when LG managed to move “just” 7 million smartphones.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. 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.
