LG Outlines Australian Ice Cream Sandwich Smartphone Updates

Gizmodo AU

I don’t know about you guys, but all this talk about Ice Cream Sandwiches is making me mighty hungry for an Android update. The problem is that the actual updates have been rarer than vegetables in Google’s codename standards. Last night LG promised all that’s about to change – *cue excited drumroll* – when the company announces when it will upgrade a few of its phones to ICS some time next month. (*queue sad trombone*)

Augmented Reality Is Now 3D On LG’s Optimus 3D Phone

LG’s pinched Layar’s idea and made it 3D, though I suppose Wikitude is partly to blame/thank too. They’re calling it the world’s first 3D AR browser, and while it’ll only be available on LG’s Optimus 3D phone for starters, expect it to roll out onto other 3D handsets later, once LG gets some more off the production lines.

Luckily, LG and YouTube have just announced that the world’s largest online video company is going 3D.
