LG Renoir Surfaces; Shows Off Touchscreen, 8MP Camera, Fingerprints
Posted by Jack Loftus at 2:30 AM on September 22, 2008
We brought you a shiny stock image of LG's Viewty successor, the Renoir, back in August, and today we're bringing you the requisite fingerprint-laden in the wild photos (with watermarks!). They give a more accurate depiction of this puppy's 8MP monster, complete with Schneider-Kreuznach certified optics, xenon flash and ISO up to 1600. There's a phone in there too, with quad-band GSM, a 3-inch touchscreen, GPS, Bluetooth 2.0, and Wifi. The Renoir will be available sometime in October. Maybe they'll take that plastic band off the outside by then. [Toys and Gadgets via BGR]

Always the same story... It's not the looks, its the platform.... The App Store, the polish, the infrastructure, the end-to-end solution.....

Of course, as soon as I finally break down and buy a Voyager Titanium, something even newer and hotter hits the market. Well played, LG, well played...
