LG, Prada working on phone
The luxury fashion specialists at Prada are collaborating with LG to produce a new cellphone, due out next year, Pocket-lint reports. Though little is known about the project, Prada's involvement may run considerably deeper than with the comparable Dolce and Gabbana MOTORAZR, which mainly added gold and silver plating. Prada and LG say that they've "jointly explored and developed all aspects of this new phone," changing styling, software, and interface elements. The one confirmed feature of the new product is a touch interface, which may be similar to the one used in LG's current Chocolate series. Initial rollout of the Prada phone will begin with Europe in early 2007, and progress from there to Asia. [Photo courtesy of AVING]
