Completed in October 2009, the reinvigorated LG Arena Birmingham is a must visit venue for any music fan. With £29 million spent on redvelopment last year it is now one of the biggest and best venues in the country with a capacity of 15,700.

LG unveil the GD880i Mini with Mobile World Congress

February 17th, 2010 by joeO
 
The emergence of touchscreen technology as a staple in phone design has had both positive and negative consequences. The positive is obvious; touchscreen adds a new depth of interactivity for the consumer as well as a whole host of other features that just wouldn’t work without touchscreen. The negative is also obvious, glaringly so. It’s that brick on your desk, the big bulge in the back pocket of your jeans. Yes, it is the increase in size I’m talking about. This is why LG have unveiled the visually stunning GD880i at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The fittingly named ‘Mini’...

LG GW620 Android phone – A messaging marvel!

February 11th, 2010 by joeO
 
Another day, another legitimate reason to play with my phone in the office. The GW620 is packed with excellent features, so I decided it was time to try some of them out, rather than just browse the Android market for apps all day long! One feature I was keen on testing out was the threaded messaging, so in the name of research I started texting like a teenager possessed. If you’re anything like me then frequently you will find yourself struggling to remember what you wrote in your last message. Thankfully the GW620 links all texts onto one thread so they...

Introducing the LG HS200 LED Projector

February 9th, 2010 by joeO
 
Moving house a lot? Tired of buying a new TV to fit into a different space? As an alternative why not consider the LG HS200 projector which can project any size up to 120 inches. As I am sure most of you are aware, the great thing about a projector is that you can easily choose your required picture size by simply adjusting the distance between the projector and the surface on which you choose to project. Previously though projectors have lacked the picture quality of plasma or LCD displays, and the cumbersome size has hardly made them portable. “LG’s interest lies...
