It’s said that the USB standard is just compatible with Windows at the moment, but you can connect up to six of these screens to your PC and have a 6 screen display.

New LG twisty-fold clamshell phone: copy of the Casio W53CA

LG have announced that they are to offer us a follow up to their LH2300 Touch Web phone; however one thing puzzles me about this twisty-fold clamshell, why does it look just like the Casio W53CA.

It seems that there is no stopping LG when it comes to packing features on their cell phones. This particular handset has a 5.1 megapixel with a CMOS sensor as well as a 28-mm lens. LG have also added anti-shake technology just like on their Viewty as well as 9-point auto focus.

This new clamshell cell phone has 2.8-inch LCD screen with a pixel resolution of 800 x 480. The phone is 18.9mm thick and features web browsing and a microSD slot for extra storage.

LG Viewty goes Pink: more colors on the way

When LG launched their Viewty touchscreen cell phone the color available was black, however they then come out with a silver version. Both these colors were nice but they do not appeal to the ladies that are why in the coming weeks LG are to release a Viewty Pink.

And LG have also announced that more colors are on the way, but give no details as to what colors will be available. The specs of the handset has not changed, which I see as a problem. Although the Viewty is great phone, I think that it lacks Wi-Fi; you would have thought that LG would do an updated version.
