Global Preview of Avatar with LG’s New Chocolate Phone

Around 5,000 people braved the winter chill at Leicester Square in London on December 12 for the global premier preview of Avatar, a new film directed by James Cameron. Alongside the director were lead stars Sam Worthington & Sigourney Weaver.

Avatar and LG have partnered for the launch, but are also working together to provide YouTube content as well. You can check out the YouTube Channel by visiting http://www.youtube.com/AvatarGlobalPremiere.

LG is the sole sponsor for Avatar and has organized promotional events alongside movie openings in 30 countries all over the world. LG and the Avatar team are inviting members of the online community who actively join promotions to visit a premium preview, where they get the opportunity to meet and interview the director and lead stars.

LG’s New Chocolate phone includes exclusive Avatar content, including a 3-minute trailer, interviews with James Cameron and lead actors. Avatar is pushing the boundaries of 3D cinema, which made it the perfect partner for LG’s New Chocolate phone, which itself is designed to provide the ultimate multimedia experience.

The New Chocolate phone was applauded for its innovative appearance and cutting-edge technology. Most strikingly, it features a 4-inch HD LCD screen with a 21:9 aspect ratio that’s optimized for movies.

OK, time for me to head back to Pandora! Happy 2010 New Year in advance people!

National Flags Made Out of Food

Sydney International Food Festival was held early June 2009, participating countries recreated their national flags using their own local delicacies.

Let's have a look and guess what is the name of the country with their food flag.

France, India, Spain, Vietnam

Italy,Lebanon, Korea, Greece

Brazil, Japan, Switzerland, Australia

I find the artistic and resemblance for each country is unique. For example, India with the curries, Italy with their spaghetti, Japan with their sushi and more. What if our country Malaysia also joined this Festival? Malaysia's flag have blue, red, yellow and white colors.

For me, Blue-Nyonya Kuih, Yellow-Pineapple Tarts, Red-Nasi Lemak's Sambal, and White-Ketupat. As for you, what kind of foods will be part of the flag?

Life's Good as we Malaysian have so much local food to enjoy~!

And not forgetting too, Happy Boxing Day!

Farewell to Hard-to-use Smartphones

Introducing the LG GW620, LG’s First Android Phone

How consumers view and use mobile phones is evolving, and the devices themselves are changing with them. The current generation of smartphones are more akin to handheld computers that enable a user to play games, surf the internet and even do office work (aside from making calls, of course). Smartphones are already changing the mobile landscape and according to a forecast from Goldman Sachs, smartphones will represent 16 percent of the handset market in 2010 and 29 percent in 2012. Some predict it could be as high as 40 percent.

The LG GW620, LG’s first Android -based smartphone
In June this year, LG Electronics launched its first smartphone, the LG GM730, based on the Windows Mobile platform. The LG GW620 is the company’s second smartphone and the first to make use of Google’s Android operating system. LG GW620 is equipped with a 3-inch full touchscreen display and a slide out QWERTY keypad. It is being launched in key regional markets first, including Germany, Canada, Israel, Australia and Singapore in November 2009 and will be available in 23 countries across the globe by early next year.

What differentiates LG GW620 from other smartphones are its SNS Manager, Auto Face-Tagging and powerful multimedia features that make it truly optimized for social media. A user can easily upload pictures or post messages to Facebook, Bebo or Twitter through the SNS Manager application and keep track of friends’ updates at the same time.

How SNS Manager Works
Auto Face-Tagging is a powerful function that helps connect friends to actions. Once a user inputs details about a person in a picture, the LG GW620 automatically identifies the face and synchronizes the information with other pictures. The user can quickly send e-mails or text messages to friends while looking at an image. There’s plenty of room to store images and video thanks to support for 32GB memory cards.

Why Android OS?
Android is an operating system developed by Google that’s 100 percent open source, meaning third-party developers can build applications to extend the rich features offered by default. Straight out of the box, the operating system enables users to access Google online services including Google search, Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube and so on. Frost & Sullivan, a market research firm, forecasts that the market share of Android-based devices will increase from 2 percent to 17 percent by 2014.

Smartphones: For More Than Just Work
As the overall market grows, LG is developing smartphones for average phone users, not just a few avid enthusiasts. A common perception among everyday users is that smartphones are difficult to use and expensive and are best suited to working executives. LG is focusing on development of a group of easy-to-use, affordable smartphones which also provide new experiences to customers without the complexity of early devices.

Smartphones promise convenient features that are in-synch with modern usage habits, and LG believes the ability for users to access social networking features on the road will help kick start a smartphone revolution. This, coupled with the availability of new software to further extend the capabilities of the devices, will help usher in a new era in mobile communications. LG plans to launch up to 30 new smartphones in 2010 to provide a wide selection of devices to our customers.



In the meantime, check out the GW620 on Facebook by visiting

WHAT’S OLD IS NEW AGAIN - Introducing LG’s “Classic TV”

There were plenty of state-of-the-art electronics as the Korea Electronics Show (KES) 2009 last month but it was a little 14-inch CRT “classic TV” that stole the show at the LG booth. Many visitors were grabbing their digital cameras and camera phones to take photos of this small and cute red TV set. The public interest was satisfying reward for all the hard work we put in over the past few months to develop this little unit.

The Glory Days of TV
This Classic TV is the brainchild of LG Team Leader Jae-ryong Park. He suggested developing a brand new CRT TV for the show to reflect the fashion from the heyday of TV during the 50’s and 60’s. The team spent many nostalgic hours planning and designing the screen as a tribute to the screens that lit up so many lounge rooms in years gone by.

The TV shouldn’t look likes a modern LCD TV. It had to be a blend of the old and the new, features including a real dial, antennas, legs and a black-and-white screen. The insides, however, was all digital.

There were plenty of technical challenges to overcome. Even configuring the rotary dials proved tricky, not to mention designing the legs, the black-and-white screen and incorporating support for digital TV. There were also many discussions with the sales team, who needed to know how to sell such a retro classic in today’s market focused on large, thin, flat screens.

The LG Classic TV looks a little like an original Braun-tube TV at a glance, but it has been modernized in many ways including color, textures, design and features. In the end a jog wheel took the place of the rotary switch – an innovative use of a technology usually reserved for game controllers.

The CRT TV has almost one hundred years of history and while the analog era is drawing to a close, LG is proud to pay tribute to the pioneers of the industry who have brought us to this point. As for retro products from LG, there’s more to come so please stay tuned!
