LG's Booth

 Probably one of the more extravagant and glamorous booths at this year's CommunicAsia, LG is out in full force to tout its Shine series of mobile phones, with breakdancing performances and classy models. Not to mention the phone giveaways during the shows held at regular intervals.

 A special version of LG's heavily marketed Shine mobile phones with calligraphic inscriptions.

 Chosen by the GSM Association for this year's '3G for All' campaign, this LG KU250 is a slim and versatile multimedia 3G phone. The 1.7-inch LCD display has a resolution of 176 x 220, and a 1.3-megapixel camera. Music formats supported include MP3, WMA and AAC. There's also built-in memory of 60MB while supporting MicroSD for expandable memory.

 For those who require more out of their mobile phones, the LG KS10 smartphone has full Internet browsing capability through HSDPA (1.8Mbps), fast enough to support streaming video. It runs on Symbian OS 9.2 and has a built-in MP3 player and a 2.0-megapixel camera. Internal memory is limited to 70MB but users are probably going to make use of its MicroSD slot anyway.

 Available only in Europe currently, the LG KU580's 2.0-inch LCD is oriented in landscape mode with touch sensitive keys with navigation backlights. There's a 2.0-megapixel camera and supports Bluetooth 2.0 and GPRS.

 Also on display are mobile phones streaming live TV, a demonstration of terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting.
