LG Makes Strong Commitment to Android
Mobile phone manufacturer LG has made a strong commitment to the Google Android mobile operating system with the announcement that 10 of the 20 smartphones that the company plans to release in 2010 will sport Google’s popular OS.
Given LG’s historic involvement with Microsoft and its Windows Mobile operating system, the news comes as something of a surprise but comments made by LG president and CEO Scott Ahn clear up some of the mystery:
Windows Mobile still has its legacy issues that makes it challenging to compete in mobiles: we know it and Microsoft knows it.
LG will continue to release WinMo-based phones and also plans to offer at least one LinMo-powered device (Linux Mobile operating system) in 2010. The company also stated that they plan to increase phone production by 20% this year.
