Hmmmmmmmmmmm! Looks like some body copied some body! There must have been
a leak some where. It sounds like the LG phone was just shown in 2007 for
the first time??? Could it be that two companies developed two similar products
at the same time and released them around the same time??? I doubt it!
Either it leaked through a spy, or LG is building the iPhone for Apple.
Something isn't right, Apple claims 3 years for product development. Apple
may be the copycat. I guess time will tell.

There has been years of corporate espionage on the part of asian companies
and governments. This one will be interesting to see what's up with this
one. It's hard for me to believe that a company that prides it's self on
innovation would copy another companies design, but I guess anything is possible.
Looks vary suspicious.

This article is funny, it's date at the top is Dec. 19th 2006, yet it talks
about the Apple iPhone that was announced Jan. 10th 2007. They are saying
the LG phone has a black and white screen, I'm thinking the pictures are
bogus. Somebody's been having fun in Photoshop.

PRADA pix. The analog clock sure looks like the Apple dashboard clock.

James, I have a very good friend who works for LG. She had to work as a LG
presenter a the CES show last week. I'll get the scoop from her tommorow..Stay
tuned. Interesting indeed..

But,lest be honest.. How in the world could Apple know how to make a Cell
phone?? Without the help of an established Phone company??

Apple is involved in several patent lawsuits with one of the biggest is the
one with Creative Audio. Creative claimed (and Won) the portable MP3 technology
was (Ipod) was their patent. Creative has won the first lawsuit and is now
pending (large) settlement..

Hey, They leaned from Gates how to "steal" innovation.. :)
