While Samsung seems a tad wishy-washy about exactly when they'll be producing OLED TVs, LG has set out a clear date. It's 2011 apparently: Though they'll be investing in next-gen LCD production lines too, the plan is to have volume production of 32-inch OLED screens within three years. [Digitimes]LG KF750 Is Sleek of Line, High (Five) of Megapixels, Shoots DivX, Called Secret
Remember that sleek black cellphone from LG we wrote about earlier this month? More details are emerging, most notably that the KF750 shoots DivX video at 120 frames per second, and sports face-recognition technology on that 5-megapixel camera, as well as having haptic feedback, mobile Google apps and Bluetooth. Oh, and one for Conan O'Brien—its name is *whispers* Secret. Full press release after the jump. More »LG Mates Microwave and Toaster, Creates FrankenMicroToaster
I need this. It's a microwave with a built-in toaster, combining two of the three appliances I actually use into a single smorgasbord of food-warming convenience, perfect for my munchkin-sized counter. The other is a George Forman-esque grill—all other electric kitchenwares are frivolous and silly. In fact, if LG could somehow convert the top of this mutant puppy into one, or bolt a steak toaster onto the other side, this would be the most harmonious kitchen appliance ever, the true kitchen in a box. I'm waiting. [core77]Lightning Review: LG enV2 from Verizon

More »LGs "Innovation Challenge": Design Your Dream Phone and Win Money, Gadgets
The folks at LG must be running out of ideas because they are once again tapping the general public for new designs. Earlier this month, they launched a touchscreen UI contest, but now they have moved on to hardware with the Innovation Challenge. The goal: design your dream phone. The payoff: LG will manufacture your phone (one of which you get to keep), pay you $10,000 and adorn your pad with a LG 52" LCD TV and a HD-DVD (whaa?) or a Blu-ray player. Better hurry though, the contest ends on 4/30. [LG Innovation Challenge]Rumor Smashed: LG Voyager NOT Coming to Sprint or AT&T
Earlier this week, we posted a rumor about the possibility of the LG Voyager coming to Sprint and AT&T. We finally got in touch with LG reps, who told us the rumor is false, false, false. They say they have no intention of bringing the Voyager to Sprint, AT&T or any other carrier and don't know how the rumor started. [LG Voyager on Giz]Local Broadcasters Want Mobile Standard: Free TV on Phones and Handhelds (With Ads, That Is)
The good news: A coalition of 800 local TV stations are lobbying to get a mobile TV standard approved by the ATSC. Rather than pay Verizon or AT&T a boatload of money to get MediaFLO content, you will just buy a product with a receiver chip and tune in whatever's on. The bad news: Broadcasters want this because TiVo, cable and that damned internet have done away with their ad revenue, and mobile TV seems like the last good place to stick inline ads that you will have to watch. More »LG Voyager Coming to Sprint and AT&T?
According to Korean news outlet Electronic Times, an LG offical has been quoted on record as saying the LG Voyager will be coming to AT&T and Sprint sometime this year. The phone has sold 1.1 million units as a Verizon exclusive with its touchscreen front and flip-open keyboard. IntoMobile questions the success the Voyager would have against the iPhone on AT&T's network, as the two phones are in direct competition against each other. Going to Sprint would also put the Voyager in a cat fight against the recently launched Samsung Instinct. We have yet to hear officially from LG on the matter, so for now, we'll file this under rumor. [Electronic Times via Into Mobile]LG T80 PMP Packs in Touchscreen, DVB for Europeans
LG has just revealed the T80 PMP, which has the makings of a promising media player, at least for the Europeans. The T80 boasts a 3-inch, 260k color (420 x 240) touchscreen, supports MPEG, MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, ASF, JPEG, TXT files, has an FM tuner, integrated microphone and a DVB-T receiver, which blows for anyone outside of Europe. The T80 will endure 5.5hours of video playback or 3 hours of TV viewing on a single charge, comes with a paltry 4GB disk space and assaults your wallet at €299 ($473). If you're hot for the player, consider getting your import on. [Generationmp3 via PMP Today]
