LG cubism challenges Apple's iPhone
Apple does not deign to attend the Mobile World Congress but it has a presence in that every new touchscreen model is measured against the iPhone.
Phones using Google's Android operating system were expected to be contenders, but there were few in evidence. One was HTC's Magic touchscreen version of the G1, but it lacked the Apple magic.
Some thought LG's Arena KM 900 could give Apple something to think about. Caroline Gabriel, of Rethink Wireless, wrote in a blog that the iPhone "still stands head and shoulders above all other touchscreen phones, because other handset makers just don't seem to get what touch is all about. Until now, with LG showing off the Arena".
The user interface provides four customisable home screens by presenting them as the vertical faces of a cube, which can be turned with the flick of a finger.
The same cube interface is also on LG's Windows Mobile-based GM 730. LG says it will be used in all its high-end phones, offering customers a wider choice of models than Apple.
Sony Ericsson unveiled a
good-looking new W995 Walkman phone, but its iPhone rival, provisionally called Idou, will not be available until later this year.
Details are scarce but it features a 3.2in 16:9 touchscreen and a 12.1-megapixel camera with a Xenon flash. The company recently signed up to the Open Handset Alliance, which backs Android, but the Idou will use Symbian software.
