Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsLG47LW530055LW5300
It was recently revealed that 4 out of 5 consumers prefer the passive 3D technology over the older active shutter technology. In light of this finding, LG announced today two new entertainment packages that will be releasing later this month. The packages will include brand new HDTVs from the company’s new LW5300 series, a new 3D Blu-ray player, and 4 pairs of 3D glasses. The LW5300 series includes two new HDTVs, the 47” 47LW5300 and a 55” 55LW5300. “As more and more people seek to bring the 3D viewing experience into their homes, LG is offering them an easy-to-buy and even easier-to-enjoy 3D home entertainment package,” said Jay Vandenbree, senior vice president, home entertainment, LG Elec...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGThrill 4G
If you were saving your $100 to buy the Thrill 4G on AT&T, you’ll be disheartened to know that you may have to wait a few more weeks for the glasses-free 3D phone to hit. A leak out of Radio Shack says the handset won’t be coming for another three weeks or so.
According to an e-mail to Android Community, the device has been delayed from August 7 to August 21.

LG offers remote support services to worldwide users
Like UnlikeFiled in: LG
LG has announced the worldwide roll out of its Remote Call services, which provide smartphone users with remote maintenance and software upgrades. The service was initially launched in LG's home market of Korea.
The Remote Call services allows LG to diagnose software issues in the phone without forcing the user to visit a support center. LG's technicians can connect to the phone through cellular or Wi-Fi internet connections. LG says that the Remote Call app cannot access any personal information, such as messages, contacts, and call logs, on the device. Additionally, the LG FOTA (firmware over-the-air) app allows users to easily download the latest software updates for their particular phon...

LG Thrill 4G for AT&T priced at $99 on a new two-year contract
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGAT&TThrill 4G
While it’s not as cheap as we previously thought, it looks like the US version of the LG Optimus 3D, the Thrill 4G, will land on AT&Tshelves for only $99 on a new two-year contract. This almost doesn’t need to be said but we can imagine that a dual-core toting, glasses-free 3D display-rocking handset for $99 should sell like hotcakes.
The LG Thrill 4G would be the first handset of its caliber to land at such a price in the US, third-party retailers notwithstanding. When the handset is released, we can imagine that some of those retailers will be offering up the handset at an even lower price. Say, $50, if not free.
On AT&T’s website, you can now grab the Motorola Atrix 4G for only $99 and wh...

All AT&T Android Phones Released In 2011 Will Get Gingerbread
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungLGHTCMotorolaPantechGoogleCaptivateAndroid 2.3ATRIX 4GInfuse 4GInspire 4GPhoenixCrossover
The HTC Status might be a sort-of-weird, kind-of-gimmicky (with its dedicated Facebook button and all) little piece of kit, but it’s got at least one thing going for it: it’s the only phone on AT&T running on the latest (phone-friendly) version of Android: v2.3, or “Gingerbread”. Not for long, though.
AT&T has just confirmed that all of the Android phones they released in 2011 will be getting the Gingerbread upgrade treatment.
The phones AT&T confirmed:
HTC Inspire 4G
LG Phoenix
Motorola Atrix 4G
Pantech Crossover
Samsung Captivate
Samsung Infuse 4G
That sure looks like all of AT&T’s 2011 Android line up so far, to me. Anyone spot anything that’s missing?

LG Thrill 4G up for pre-order today at Radio Shack, ahead of August 7th launch?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGThrill 4G
The LG Thrill 4G was announced at CTIA four months ago , but wasn't given its rightful time in the sun due to a much larger elephant in the room. Now the phone's launch is quickly approaching, however, and the AT&T-branded Optimus 3D is ready to get some glory. We were sent not one, but two separate emails this morning from Radio Shack insiders with a few details about the retail chain's rollout of the device. As it turns out, visitors to The Shack can be offered the opportunity to reserve a Thrill -- supposedly gearing up for an August 7th launch -- starting today with the purchase of a $50 gift card. According to the screenshots sent to us, the Thrill can be all yours for $80 with a two-ye...

LG to bring 55-inch OLED TV to market in 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsLG
There have been a few OLED TVs on the market so far. Sony had its OLED a few years back, but the set was so expensive that it never took off thanks to that price. Eventually the cost of the OLED panels will come down and we will see the TVs on the market at prices consumers might be willing to pay. The sets promise better image quality, thinner profiles, and less power consumption.
LG has announced that it will be tossing a 55-inch OLED TV onto the market in mid-2012. LG’s CEO noted that the company would not focus on small and medium size OLED screens for the tablet and smartphone. CEO Kwon Young-Soo thinks that the AH-IPS panels currently in use are best suited to those smaller screens. Th...

Leak: LG Fantasy looks a bit like the HTC HD7
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGFantasy
Pocketnow have managed to lay their hands on LG’s fall line-up, revealing amongst a bevy of Android handsets a single Windows Phone 7 handset, the LG Fantasy.
No specs accompanied the rendering, but the device appears to have a near edge to edge screen and similar styling to the HC HD7, suggesting to me that it will likely be a premium large-screened handset.
How do our readers feel about the design compared to LG’s previous lower-end looking devices? Let us know below.

LG Optimus 3D getting the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update in October
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsLGGoogleAndroid 2.3Optimus 3D
British version of the LG Optimus 3D won’t get the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update before October. We’ve no idea what’s wrong here since by that time Google may easily launch the latest version of Android – Ice Cream Sandwich. The good news, however, is that LG’s forthcoming update will also come with some special features, custom-made to take advantage of the 3D screen. As a result, once the Optimus 3D gets that new software, 2D to 3D conversion will be possible on the fly for applications and games as long as they [apps and games] are based on OpenGL. Kinda neat though I’m not sure that justifies waiting for October, especially when we know that the competing product (HTC Evo 3D) offers the...

LG Optimus Net is an entry-level Gingerbread smartphone
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGOptimus Net
Aside from the LG Optimus Pro, the Korean company unveiled another Android smartphone – Optimus Net. From what I can tell, it looks like a successor to the super-popular Optimus One, which is now carried by every major mobile operator in the U.S. and elsewhere. In that sense, we’re talking about a low-to-mid end device that comes with the same 3.2-inch HVGA (320×480 pixels) capacitive touchscreen, 3.2-megapixel camera, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity and a memory card slot.

LG Optimus Pro C660: BlackBerry clone running Android, not worth it
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGOptimus Pro
Walk into any phone shop and you’ll be faced with identical slabs of glass from every handset maker on the planet. Kind of boring, right? With the exception of Nokia, and most obviously Research in Motion, nearly no one else even bothers to launch devices with a physical QWERTY keyboard anymore. They might do one or two per year, but for the most part you’re kind of screwed if you’re the type who likes to hit little plastic buttons while vomiting out what’s on your mind to your Twitter followers. Enter the LG Optimus Pro C660, which looks like a clone of Motorola’s Droid Pro and the Samsung Replenish, the former on Verizon, the latter on Sprint.
