The death of the cell phone business LG Reminds many of its innovative products. One of them LG KE850 Prada, The first touch screen phone to win IPhone.
The LG Prada was first announced on December 15, 2006, and first went on sale in May 2007. Apple, meanwhile, announced that the original iPhone would go on sale on June 9, 2007 at the MacWold Expo in June 2007.
Touch screen phones were around for years before these two phones were introduced. However, LG Prada uses capacitive touch screen technology that can be operated with a finger touch without the need for a stylus.
LG Prada has partnered with Fashion House to design this fashion phone. This phone is also sold with a leather case, which further emphasizes its status as a fashion item.
The live release date and nearly identical design have certainly gone unnoticed. Woo-Young Quake, head of LG’s Cell Phone R&D Center, is accused of following Apple’s design LG Prada.
“We believe Apple copied the Prada phone after it was displayed at the IF Design Awards and won the award in September 2006,” said Quack.
