LG Electronics Inc, the world’s No.3 Mobile phone maker, aims to increase handset sales by 20 percent this year and is pinning its hopes on Google’s Android OS to beef up its smartphone lineup. The South Korean maker of phones, TVs and appliances faces stiff competition in 2010 due to its relatively weak footing in the booming smartphones business against Apple Inc,RIM and Palm Inc. LG said on Wednesday it aimed to sell 140 million mobile phones this year. It sold 117 million handsets last year, beating its target of over 100 million, to claim about 10 percent of the global market. LG has based its mobile phone business on strong lineups of feature-centric phones covering low- to high-end customers but has been struggling in the smartphone battle, where operating systems and applications matter. “A device alone won’t help us to sustain business,” Skott Ahn, LG’s president and CEO of mobile communications, told a news conference. “We need to build a system where consumers, service operators and software providers can work together effectively.” While LG has no plan to develop its own mobile phoneoperating system , it will continue to work on platforms to provide more effective solutions, he added. LG, which trails Nokia of Finland and home rival Samsung Electronics Co Ltd in mobile phones, will unveil about 20 smartphonesthis year, with more than half based on Google’s Android operating system . LG said its 2010 offerings would also include phones running on Microsoft Corp’s Windows Mobile and LiMo’s Linux-based software. LG executives declined to say how many Windows phones it was planning to release. In February last year, LG signed a deal with Microsoft, then saying Windows Mobile would become the primaryoperating system for its smartphones. “The fact that we’ll have a bit more Android phones this year doesn’t mean our ties with Microsoft are weakening,” Ahn said. By 2012, LG wants to achieve a double-digit share of the global smartphone market.

I’m not entirely sure if this is good news, bad news or just ‘news’ news but Samsung has recently launched a new handset – The Tobi S3030 slider phone – that’s apparently designed and directed toward the pre-teen market. Of course it would be irresponsible to assume that that’s their prime demographic, considering the release also states that it’s for ‘young adults, and anyone who desires to experience fun and safety features from their mobile phones’.The handset is available in colorful variations (Sweet Pink, Bright Orange, Loyal Blue, Oasis Blue, Apple Green and Snow Silver with interchangeable back covers) and is reportedly made from non-toxic recyclable and biodegradable bio-plastic. It’s painted using non-toxic paints and non-allergic materials to keep the environment as well as the health of the users safe. Does this mean that kids can safely shove this up their nose, or bite on it without the materials causing them any harm? Hopefully. Additionally, the earphone is also made of eco-friendly materials without any polyvinyl chloride (PVC).The Tobi is quite an equipped handset that comes with a 1.3MP camera, audio player, Bluetooth (with BT messaging), a 1.9-inch TFT display (176×144 pixels, 65k colors), GPRS and microSD card support. What’s supposed to make the handset so enticing are the GUI colorful themes – Monster theme, Snowman theme and Ocean World theme as well as the interchangeable cover with a transparent portion at the back for inserting a photograph. It’s a light-weight phone at just 85g so I’m presuming it’d be easy to misplace or break too, unless the company has thought of that and it comes equipped with Samsung’s resident Mobile Tracker software and is made of some truly rugged yet ‘eco-friendly’ material. But jokes aside, the handset does come with safety features that include – SOS Call, SOS Message and a feature called Fake Call. Using these safety features, users can be directly linked to their family members and friends in emergent situations and even “easily escape from dangerous situations”. I’m not sure how, but that’s what the release says.The handset will be out sometime this month in the Europe sector and could make its way to Asia soon after that. There’s no price mentioned yet.
