LG GW990 – first smartphone to use Moorestown and runs Moblin
Jan 8th
The first Moorestown (Intel’s CPU) based device is unveiled by LG during CES 2010. It is now official, it runs Moblin ( a Linux based mobile platform from Intel), and it’s launching in the second half of this year.
The GW990 will be coming with a 4.8-inch panoramic widescreen display (with a 1020 x 480 resolution), HD Video, 3D gaming, aGPS, WiFi, 1850mAh battery, digital compass, HSPA radio, 5 megapixel camera, 16Gb of built in flash memory and MicroSD expansion slot.
LG is layering their S-Class inteface on top of the Moblin so there is not much of excitement over here. But because of its huge screen, it can show 3 panels in one screen without feeling too many things on the screen (see the image).
This is something to look forward to in the second half of the year.
