LG is losing its current CEO, because the company is struggling financially and the vision of the company has been a poor one for quite a while.

Get a load of this leaked inventory list from T-Mobile. Lots of new Android phones on the way. The list is for phone accessories, not the phones themselves, but if T-Mobile is putting the accessories into inventory, then there is a phone associated with the gel cases and the screen covers. And the dates, while [...]

Up first: the first dual-core processor [...]
Liquid marketing I couldn’t sell my old lawnmower, no matter how hard I tried. It was probably because it was old and broken and I wanted too much money for it – but then I had a brainwave – I painted it red and stuck a Ferrari logo on it… Genius? You decide, but Infinity [...]

Well, well, well. We’ve been hearing about this LG Optimus event, but didn’t know it was going to be a digital press conference. Note that the time, 6 to 6:30 pm, is Korea-based. That would be 4 am for Eastern time and 1 am for Pacific. Taylor over at Android and Me still thinks this [...]
Oh dear. Qualcomm misspoke at its annual IQ event in London. When CEO Paul Jacobs announced their 1.5 MHz dual-core Snapdragon processor would be in products in Q1 2011… oops!

Stop me if you’ve seen this phone before. You have, you just may not have seen all of it. The LG E720 had already been leaked over a Polish blog, but here it is at IFA in Berlin, securely glassed-in where nobody can see if it’s running Android OS 2.2. And now it’s got [...]
Oooh, so what’s this from LG? A phone? A tablet? An in-between slate? This is an invitation for an LG event on September 14th, and Optimus has something to do with it.

Even though most people remember the iPad as being the first to create this tablet/pad market in the recent months, Archos had a tablet out there since fall last year. I’m not saying it impressed much, but they had one out. Now, they are going to launch 5 new tablets starting at under $100, and [...]
Of course, LG couldn’t be left too far behind its bigger brother Samsung in the Android tablet market, so they are unveiling an upcoming 7″ tablet of their own: the Optimus Pad. They say it will be slimmer and lighter than any other tablet out there, which should be big benefits. I don’t think the [...]
Rogers is not doing too bad of a job bring Android phones to Canada lately. Today they are launching LG Optimus GT540 AKA “Loop”, which looks pretty good on the outside, but it’s not on the same level on the inside, featuring the obsolete Android 1.6 version.I suppose you can’t complain when it comes with [...]
The high demand for Android smartphones and tablets must’ve given LG a boost of confidence because they believe they can make a tablet that will not only be better than iPad, but will also be the most productive tablet to be released. We all know productivity isn’t iPad’s strongest benefit, but media consumption is. However, [...]
Proud to be a virgin There was a time when people didn’t want to be associated with the word ‘virgin’ but thanks to billionaire Richard Branson that is no longer the case and nowadays the Virgin logo can be seen adorning many products from planes to trains and not least on Android phones like the [...]
LG is trying hard to promote their new high end Android smartphone Optimus Z, and they are doing what they know works best in Korea. They are parading with a mascot through town and they are stop everyone to show them the new smartphone. While this tactic works well one-to-one, it’s not going to be [...]
LG is not quite the early adopter they should be, but at least they are following Samsung closely. Even though they’ve promised Microsoft that they will be one of their main partners for Windows Phone 7, they are going to sell many more Android phones, in fact they are predicting that 70% of their smartphone [...]

Samsung is LG’s long time rival. Whenever Samsung is creating a new type of product or entering a different market, LG is always right behind them. This time they are pulling it off once again. Since Samsung announced that it’s bringing Froyo update to its Galaxy S, LG is wasting no time and they are [...]
Vodafone not convincing anyone When we reported Vodafone’s Android 2.1 update for their European HTC Desire yesterday as being little more than adware and a crude attempt to distract customers from the fact that Orange were beginning the roll-out of OS 2.2 for their Desire users, Vodafone were quick to respond. The update, they say, [...]
Wildfires not burning so bright As elsewhere, the HTC Wildfire was met by a blaze of enthusiasm in the UK, and yesterday’s news that Android 2.2 for the handset is ready (appearing on launch lists in China) should have stoked the fires even further. For some though, the flames have been extinguished somewhat, by a [...]
I pay $96 a month to use my Droid. Since I got my phone back in November, $6 of that high priced bill has gone to Asurion, the insurance company that Verizon uses. Like my car insurance, I pay for this so that, if there are any accidents, I can get my Droid fixed up, [...]

Its a Phone not a Hotdog I always thought Hero a slightly pretentious name for a phone and was glad when they dubbed it the G2 here in the UK. G2 sounds like a phone, not a sandwich or a war veteran, but nowadays the number 2 makes it sounds like an old phone. Nevertheless, [...]
