LG has predicted that mobile phones will overtake all other entertainment consumer electronics in the next three years as the pace of development in handset features becomes faster. Sure, LG produces mobile phones, but it also produces TVs and DVD Players and home network systems and so on. I’m pretty sure the company is also gaining marketshare in the mobile space with its high quality phones.
“The next generation 3.5G LG mobile phones will open up a whole new world of possibilities, and will come equipped with multimedia broadcasting functions allowing users to watch terrestrial broadcasts and talk on the phone at the same time,” Kang Tea Ik, LG chief research engineer for mobile communications said…He also predicted that data transfer speed will soon reach 10 Mbps and new handsets will provide converged technologies capable of broadcast functions, video-on-demand, video conferencing, and interactive broadcasting.”
