LG Claims iPhone is a Copy

It has been noticed that the Apple iPhone is very similar to the LG KE850. It is so similar that LG has gone so far as to rename it the ipose. This may be going a little too far, but in all fairness it does have some seemingly copied features.

The LG Prada is a touch screen phone with a large display area with 3 buttons on the bottoms. The iphone has an equally as large screen but only one button on the bottom. Not only does it look similar on the outside but the interfaces are also very similar.

Although similar it is highly unlikely that the LG’s Prada phone will come with features like the iphone’s multi-tap touch screen or the accelerometer that detects the orientation of the phone.

LG is likely to complain when Apple begins to steal all of their sales. The LG Prada phone still won’t be able to compete unless they add on more features. So it will be a phone with less features for more money, it is Prada after all.

"As we do with ready-to-wear and accessories, we were looking at a break-through. Consistent with our approach, we are not branding an existing product; rather, Miuccia and I have been working with LG to give this new phone a very strong character and unique style, both in its contents and in its design. We, just like our partners at LG, are known for the attention to detail and uncompromising quality of our products. And we find these characteristics in the new mobile phone."

Glowing icons on the face of the phone disappear when not in use to reveal a pure, un-adulterated black exterior. The phone is ultra thin (just 12 mm), nonetheless it hosts an array of additional multimedia functions, including an MP3 player and a music multitasking function for messaging. It also boasts an external memory slot, allowing the user to increase memory capacity for images, music and film clips.
