LG Launches LG-KC780 Slim 8 Megapixel Portrait Phone


The LG-KC780 is a slim slider phone at just 13.9 mm thick, but manages to include a large 2.4-inch widescreen LCD. The phone is designed to ensure that its myriad camera features are convenient and easy to use. A Schneider-Kreuznach certified lens ensures that the LG-KC780’s camera takes high quality photos that are sharp and clear.

Several of the LG-KC780’s smart technologies focus around the most expressive part of a person, the face. Face Detection automatically finds and focuses on people’s faces to allow photographers to take clearer pictures. Part of this feature relies on LG’s Smile Detection technology, which can recognize the angle of people’s mouths and adjust focus for faces.Other people-focused features on the LG-KC780 include easy-to-use shot modes that help make people look their best. With Smile Shot enabled the camera automatically triggers the shutter when it determines that the subject is smiling. And with Beauty Mode users can remove spots and imperfections on people’s faces, making sure the faces appear bright and clear in photos.

Great memories can happen anywhere and the LG-KC780 has a number features that ensure great shots no matter where they are taken. The LG-KC780 can almost see in the dark with adjustable light sensitivity up to an amazingly high ISO 1600. If an image is too bright, however, LG’s SmartLight setting automatically fixes it. A built-in Image Stabilizer ensures that pictures come out clear and sharp, even in shaky situations.For those times when a picture is not enough, the LG-KC780’s D1 Video recording captures DVD-resolution video of every exciting moment.

For example, the phone’s camera can be used as a webcam for use in online conversations. Unlike USB webcams, this world’s first feature means that the camera can easily move with the user, as long as the phone stays within Bluetooth range.Transferring the 8 megapixel photos that the phone takes is also far simpler thanks to Bluetooth. In addition, Smart Bluetooth makes it easier to send and read text messages, allowing them to be typed and viewed on the computer. The LG-KC780’s fun goes beyond its picture-taking capabilities; Motion Sensor Games make it easy to get into the action.LG-KC780 will go on sale in November 2008, in Europe, later expanding to CIS and Asia, including India, Thailand, Hong Kong and China. LG expects that the LG-KC780 will build on the leadership the company established with its multimillion selling Viewty and enhance its lineup of 8 megapixel camera phones, along with the recently released an 8 megapixel touch screen multimedia phone, LG Renoir (LG-KC910).

Nokia Takes On iPHONE With Touch and Tunes


Nokia took a few swings at Apple's iPhone and iTunes service today, with a one-two punch consisting of its new touchscreen-based, music-centric smartphone and a free music download service.
During the unveiling of both the new 5800 XpressMusic phone and the "Comes With Music" service today at a London launch event, the world's largest phone maker also seized the opportunity to highlight the operating system underlying its newest device. The 5800 XpressMusic is built on the latest version of Nokia's (NYSE: NOK) S60 Symbian platform, and serves as a indication of some of the advanced features the company expects to deliver through the OS.
The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, which industry watchers had believed would be called the Tube, includes a number of advancements designed to help Nokia claim a larger share of the market for high-end, feature-packed phone market -- currently buzzing about both Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone and the recent debut of T-Mobile's HTC G1, which is powered by the Google-backed Android operating system.
For one thing, the 5800 XpressMusic is Nokia's first mass-market device with a touchscreen -- similar to both the iPhone and the G1. It also provides a drop-down menu for easy access to music, as well as one-touch access to a Web browser and other applications. The user interface also provides a widescreen display -- another feature similar to the iPhone's and G1's designs.

The 5800 XpressMusic also includes a handful of unique enhancements, like unique sensors that provide for some unique applications -- like flipping the phone upside down to shut off the ringer.
Aside from design advancements, the 5800 XpressMusic will also serve as the flagship device supporting Nokia's new Comes With Music subscription offering -- marking the latest effort by Nokia to latch onto the attraction that consumers have shown for music-centric mobile phones.
Comes With Music -- which officially debuted today after having been introduced last month -- provides a year of unlimited access to the Nokia Music Store catalog with the purchase of a supported phone. The program builds on Nokia's existing, iTunes-like music store, and its catalog now includes EMI Music, Universal Music Group, Sony BMG Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group, the company said.
