LG, Sharp and Philips to build developer's kit, create Smart TV app standard
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsLGPhilipsSHARP
A triumvirate of television titans -- LG, Sharp and Philips -- are joining forces to create a development kit, defining a common standard for their Smart TV apps. The power play addresses the problem of fragmentation, since developers will only need to make one version of an app for it to work across all three of the 'tubes operating systems.

In an exclusive one-on-one briefing with Pocket-Lint, Dr Henry Noh of LG shed some light on the so-called LG Optimus 3D 2, which would not only be capable of shooting 3D content and displaying it on its glasses-free 3D display, but will likely stand out with a super slim waistline as well.
