LG’s ‘Mini’ mobile phone

LG showcased it’s the LG Mini (LG GD880), the world’s first mobile phone to support 3-Way Sync service, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. 

The LG Mini includes a number of features such as LG’s 3-Way Sync service, called LG Air Sync. This enables users to continually sync the data on their phones with information stored on their PCs and their browser history over a wireless network, ensuring that content such as photos, video clips, calendars and phone books can be updated and accessed.  

“We live in an information-oriented society with vast amounts of data and content scattered all over the place. Because of this, one of the major battles in future mobile market is likely to be in the data management technology industry, focusing on seamless access among different devices,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “We have developed the LG Mini, which offers technological integration with its unique LG Air Sync service, in response to this trend.”

According to LG, Air Sync works in three ways. First, through the History Sync function, the phone’s browser is updated with the 100 most recent websites users visited on their PC, allowing users to return to the exact webpage where they left off. Second, through the Personal Information Manager (PIM) Sync function, the contact details and daily plans in the LG Mini can be synchronized to PC. Finally, with the R-Click function, pictures and information on a user’s PC can be transferred instantly to the LG Mini. 

The LG Mini also features a 5.0 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, FM radio and 7.2 Mbps HSDPA. 

Local release dates and pricing details have not yet been given.
