The 3D portfolio that LG has been holding forth is expanding. LG will be bringing to the market place new products on its 3D platform. The company had during the past few months rolled out a slew of 3D TVs for a wider audience. It is now taking a shift in strategy and bringing in the 3D television sets to the home audiences. Expected to debut in May in the UK, the new products promise to change the way you watch television in the comfort of your couch.
Are you ready for some sporting action on 3D? If plans work out as expected, you might get to watch your favorite NCAA Final Four games in 3D format. CBS is gearing up to stream the matches in three definition format and has zeroed in on 100 Cinedigm-certified cinemas to stream the 3D content. It seems like 3D sports telecast is turning a rage in the US. Following DirecTV’s announcement recently that it would join hands with Fox Sports to deliver 3D streaming of the MLB All Star game via 3D set top devices, the CBS plan comes as yet another attraction.
The X300 ultra-thin laptop from LG was first shown at the 2010 CES, and now it’s finally going to start selling on the Asian, South American and Middle Eastern markets. It’s extremely lightweight, and packs some rather respectable specifications for its size.
Recently, one of LG’s upcoming phones – the LG Arena Max – was leaked, and it appears it’s now going to be released in Korea, named the LG Maxx. It seems to be completely unrelated to the LG Arena that was released in the United States a short time ago.
For those who have been watching LG’s activities, here’s some bit of news from a different part of the world. LG’s GW620, which arrived a while earlier, is now doing the rounds in Italy in a different name. Known as LG LinkMe, the original LG GW620 has now been launched in Italy. The smartphone running Android which is giving Italy its first taste of the latest LG innovation, is being sold for €299, which translates to about $405.
LG have revealed that they’re expecting to launch a Windows Phone 7 handset sometime between September and November this year, as stated in an interview with Engadget Chinese at a Chinese New Year event.
LG Display’s new Capacitive In-Cell Multi-Touch LCD panel has been given the go ahead by Microsoft with a Windows 7 Touch Logo certification. The 13.3-inch panel, that comes across a perfect fit for laptops with multi-touch functions that enable simultaneous recognition of two touch points, has in-cell touch sensor embedded in the display. The sensors have been built into the panel.
LG is in the mood to please the natives as it simultaneously made a netbook and notebook available in Korea both hailing from the XNOTE PC territory. LG has made kinda’ beginning with the CULV-based notebooks with the portable dubbed T280 which packs in 1.3GHz Pentium dual-core and Core 2 Duo options. With an 11.6-inch display and a low 3.06-pound weight it does have the feel good factor.
Talk about other integrations and you get 2GB of RAM, Intel GMA 4500 graphics, 802.11n Wi-Fi while the processor varies the capacity on the hard drive ranging from 320 to 500GB. The US release of the CULV is a mystery while Koreans can now fetch it for $1,094.
The iPhone App Store is in the middle of a brewing storm. Or so it seems. The Mobile World Congress venue this morning was witness to as many as 24 leading telecommunications operators giving shape to a Wholesale Applications Community, which in effect would build an open platform that delivers applications to all mobile phone users.
Aimed at bringing together a fragmented marketplace and create an open industry platform that benefits everybody, from applications developers and network operators to mobile phone users themselves, the Wholesale Applications Community could be seen as a move that is in direct response to Apple’s success with its iPhone App Store.
Android sure is the craze around the globe but some of the Android OS powered devices can be really expensive and therefore we need to talk about affordable options like the LG GW620, which is also known as the Etna or the InTouch Max in some parts of the globe. The LG GW620 is available in the UK and although it is not the best spec’d handset, it can definitely satiate the Android craving users by revealing to them a discreet world of Google OS compatible features.
