Officially introduced in South Korean, the handset's availability outside the country is yet to be determined, but the phone may be launched in other regions under different names and with slightly different specs.
In this regard, Verizon customers may be blessed with such a device very soon, as LG Revolution 2 is expected to hit shelves by the end of the year.

Anyway, the LG Optimus LTE is touted Korea's first smartphone to offer 4G connectivity and HD capabilities.
LG collaborated with sister company LG Display to offer customers a smartphone with the highest resolution IPS display available on the market.

The Optimus LTE is delivered with a brilliant 4.5-inch display that provides advanced resolution, and is based on “True HD IPS” technology, which shows colors in their most natural tones.
“LG Optimus LTE is the first smartphone in Korea to offer vivid and clear HD content on a 4G network. Our goal is to be a leading player in LTE devices by continuously offering best-in-class products based on our LTE patents and know-how,” said Dr. Jong-seek Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.

Furthermore, Optimus LTE is equipped with a powerful 1.5 GHz dual-core processor and runs Google's Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system.
In addition, the smartphone comes with HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) capabilities that allows users to share multimedia content.
The device enables content sharing seamlessly through HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance).
The phone comes with a high capacity 1,830 mAh Li-Ion battery, but the Korean manufacturer has yet to reveal its autonomy.

Microsoft Exec: Windows Phone Cure for iPhone’s Monotony, Android’s Chaos

 

Windows-Phone-7-LG-Device-Close-Up

Windows Phone boss Andy Lees sees the latest version of Microsoft’s mobile operating system as the answer to big problems facing iOS and Android, the two most popular and market dominant mobile operating systems in the world.

In an interview with The Seattle Times, Lees pitched Windows Phone 7.5 — affectionately known as “Mango” — as the answer to consumers’ prayers. “Over the next 12, 18, 24 months, I can see a lot of stars lining up,” Lees said of Microsoft’s emerging mobile platform.

Where Google and Apple are failing, Microsoft is excelling according to Lees, Microsoft’s president of the Windows Phone division. Regarding the iPhone and iOS, Lees says Apple’s latest handset gives Microsoft a gap to fill. “I think, from an end user’s experience on the software, there’s a lot of interesting reviews written comparing us to iOS 5 and the amount that we’ve got done in 11 months — so some people (are) making comparisons of pace,” Lees responded when asked if Apple missed an opportunity with the iPhone 4S. He continued, “From a pure hardware perspective, I was surprised they’re not giving the consumer more choice. People want a variety of different things.”

Apple Sells Through Initial iPhone 4S Stock

 

Technorati Tags: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

AT&T says that it received more than 200,000 preorders for the iPhone 4S, while Apple's Web site no longer promises a delivery on October 14.

Apple and U.S. carrier partners AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon Wireless all began accepting preorders for the iPhone 4S at 12:01AM Pacific time on Friday, October 7. AT&T's online store was overwhelmed instantly, and many consumers complained of difficulty placing orders for several hours. By noon on Friday, AT&T said that more than 200,000 preorders were placed for the iPhone 4S. AT&T said Apple's latest smartphone was seeing "extraordinary demand."

The iPhone 4S was also available directly from Apple's Web store. Throughout the day on Friday, Apple indicated that the iPhone 4S would be delivered to those ordering it on Friday, October 14.

A check of Apple's Web store on Saturday morning shows that all variants of the device won't ship for one to two weeks--meaning Apple has sold through the initial stock available to first-day buyers. Apple didn't say how many devices had be preordered through its site.

Sprint and Verizon Wireless have not indicated how many preorders were placed for the device through their Web sites. Verizon's site indicates that some models, such as the white and black 64GB models, which cost $399, are still available for October 14 delivery. The less expensive models, such as the $199 16GB version, are showing delivery dates of October 21.

Sprint's Web site says that it is sold out of the 16GB iPhone 4S online, though it will be available in stores on October 14. The 32GB and 64GB versions are still available for delivery on October 14 or October 15.

AT&T's Web site more closely matches Apple's. Orders placed through AT&T's web site Saturday indicate that the device will not ship for two to three weeks, depending on the model. The more expensive 64GB version is still available, but the lowest-cost 16GB model is not.

The iPhone 4S has a dual-core 1GHz A5 processor; 8 megapixel camera with autofocus, flash, and 1080p HD video capture; HSPA+/CDMA, Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth 4.0 radios; Siri personal assistant, and iOS 5. It maintains the same size, shape, design, and appearance of the iPhone 4.

The 16GB model costs $199, the 32GB model costs $299, and the 64GB model costs $399.

Qualcomm’s S4: One mobile chip to rule all networks

 

Technorati Tags: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Qualcomm’s newest Snapdragon S4 chips are expected next year and will be the first to support all of the major 2G, 3G and 4G networks with a single integrated modem. The company released a white paper on Friday outlining the features and benefits of the upcoming Snapdragon S4 mobile processors, which will combine advances in computing and graphics performance with reduced power requirements.

  • The multi-core 1.5 to 2.5 GHz chips will be manufactured using a 28 nanometer process, which packs more circuits into a smaller chip, reduces heat and power requirements.
  • The integrated modem will support numerous network types: LTE, HSPA, GSM, CMDA, EV-DO and more. This means handset makers will have the flexibility to use the S4 in devices for different network providers. Qualcomm took a similar approach with the MDM 6600 chip that powers the Apple iPhone 4; it supports CDMA and GSM networks, even though Apple created specific iPhone 4 models for both AT&T and Verizon.
  • The new Krait CPU uses dual-channel memory and boasts a 1.6 times performance boost over Qualcomm’s Scorpion CPU while enjoying a 25 to 40 percent power saving improvement. I expect that mobile devices built on this chip will still have to be charged daily in general, as we’ll just use the faster devices for more activities.
  • The Adreno 225 GPU will be supported, offering a 50 percent boost to graphics processing power. It also supports Direct X 9.3 for Microsoft Windows 8
  • The modem supports simultaneous CDMA voice with LTE data and is designed to work in common frequencies between 700 MHz through 2600 MHz

Essentially the S4 and competing chips like it should provide a noticeable performance boost to mobile devices over the next 12 to 24 months while maintaining, or possibly improving, battery life. This power should correspond to higher resolution displays for advanced gaming and imaging applications.

I think back to the performance jump in my Nexus One; among the first smartphones with a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor. When it launched it felt like two steps ahead of the last generation of smartphones. Now, my venerable but trusty handset is getting lapped by handsets with speedy dual-core chips from Qualcomm, Texas Instruments and NVidia.

And when the S4 arrives in high-end devices, the same performance jump will happen again. I, for one, can’t wait to see the applications that take advantage of the power brought by the new silicon.
