One year ago, LG could best be described as “enthusiastically WM” – their CEO announced intentions that most of their future smartphones would be based on Windows Mobile – and not the then-up-and-coming Android.
Mobile Business Briefing now reports the following:
LG, the world’s third-largest handset vendor, yesterday launched a smartphone based on Google’s Android operating system in South Korea, its home market. The model LG-KH5200, which will be sold by the country’s second-largest mobile operator KT, will compete against Motorola’s Android-based smartphone MOTOROI launched earlier this year through top carrier SK Telecom. LG plans to boost its smartphone offerings with some 20 models this year, half of which will be based on Android.
Is it just me, or isn’t Microsoft’s game plan as great as they thought it was? Hmm…
