After Nokia�s unofficial announcement of the Tube 5800, LG Electronics said it will also try to challenge the iPhone by releasing new handsets with touch-screen user interface.
The South Korean firm, considered as the worlds number 5 handset maker, made the pronouncement after the success of its Prada KE850 handset, which has sometimes been described as an �iPhone clone� even though it was announced two months before Apple�s product.
Earlier, LG Electronics has entered the touch-screen phone arena, which is dominated by Apple�s iPhone, with the launch of LG-KF510 also known as �Touch Lighting Phone�.
The �Touch Lighting Phone� is a 3-megapixel touch-screen phone that is 10.9 millimeters in width. The phone also adopts the �Interactive Touch Lighting�� technology on the surface, enabling users to change images. The handset also features an �Auto Luminance Control�� function in a full light-emitting diode touch-pad on the front to save energy.
The latest model made its first international debut at the �GSMA Mobile World Congress 2008�� - formerly 3GSM World Congress - the mobile industry�s biggest event, that took place Feb. 11-24 in Barcelona, Spain. It is priced at $300 to $350.
