LG Declares Successful 2008, Claims Third Spot In Global Sales
|
|
|
LG seems to have had a better year than most in 2008, releasing a range of new handsets that have seen it climb to a heady third place in the global market. It sold over 100 million units last year, 25% higher than 2007, and though this pales in comparison to the massive 470 million handsets sold by Nokia and 200 million by Samsung, it was enough to leapfrog ahead of Motorola.

Fujitsu Launches First Waterproof Fingerprint-enabled Mobile Phone
|
|
|
We're not sure how precious you are about those homemade YouTube videos you have stored on your phone but now Fujitsu is making sure that they remain for your eyes only. Even under water. The company has just launched the first fingerprint-enabled waterproof mobile phone, Fujitsu F-01A, in Japan. It's not the first fingerprint phone but it the first that you can drown in 3-feet of water for up to half an hour and still have it work. The Symbian-based phone uses AuthenTec's TrueNav technology for touchpad-like navigational control via its AES1711 fingerprint sensor. The phone has a 3.5in widescreen VGA touchscreen display, 5.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, built-in GPS using Mobile Google Maps with Street View, e-Wallet mobile payment capability and a 1Seg mobile TV tuner. The fingerprint sensor might not stop your phone being nicked but it will stop nefarious types getting their mitts on any sensitive personal or corporate data on the device.
