LG Readies Optimus Smartphones, Tablet

from wsj.com:

>>SEOUL—LG Electronics Inc., which was late to the smartphone game, said it plans to launch 10 more smartphones and sell 5 million devices by the end of the year as it scrambles to catch rivals.

The South Korean company also plans to launch a tablet computer globally by the fourth quarter under its Optimus line, said Chang Ma, vice president of marketing for LG's mobile devices unit.

The first LG tablet, which will run on Google Inc.'s Android software, will set itself apart from Apple Inc.'s iPad by focusing on the ability to create content, rather than consume it, Mr. Ma said in an interview. "It's going to be surprisingly productive," he said.
