LG KP500 plans to bring touchscreen to the masses

Product Launch by Ricky Cadden on Tuesday September 30, 2008.

Today LG announced its KP500, a new touchscreen cell phone, cased in all black with a titanium outer rim. The KP500 has a stylus hidden in its base, allowing for precise use of the integrated handwriting recognition feature. Quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz) support is also on board, along with the 3" display.

A built-in accelerometer allows the display to automatically rotate when you hold the phone in landscape mode, and an on-screen QWERTY keyboard should make text entry a breeze. The accelerometer also enables motion-sensing gaming, allowing you to tilt and turn the phone to control games.

The LG KP500 is planned to be available in October 2008, though LG is tight-lipped about pricing, despite claiming it is the most affordable touchscreen cell phone.
