LG: 50% of New Release Will Run Android
LG recently stated that it plans to run the Android operating system on more than half of the 20 smartphones it plans to release in 2010.
The statement comes as a bit of a surprise for the manufacturer, which typically chooses Microsoft’s Windows mobile operating system to power its smartphone portfolio. LG’s president and CEO, Scott Ahn, told Reuters that “Windows Mobile still has its legacy issues that makes it challenging to compete in mobiles: we know it and Microsoft knows it.” But LG says that it will still continue to use Windows Mobile and that it will also begin to offer LiMo’s Linux operating system on some devices.
LG plans to increase its phone sales by 20 percent, which means they’re targeting to sell 140 million handsets in 2010.
