LG has unveiled the GW990 smartphone at CES, the first to use Intel's Moorestown platform, alongside Intel's Moblin Linux OS.
The phone itself is gigantic, but includes a 4.8-inch screen that features a 1024x480 resolution. The device gets about 4 hours of talk time and 300 of standby for its 1850 mAh battery, and includes a now-standard 5MP camera.
The Moblin OS looks similar to Android but has much less developer support as of yet. LG uses an "S-Class" UI for the GW990, adding 3D effects and large, colorful icons.
The Atom CPU allows for flawless multitasking, says PCmag, and the editor says he watched a movie, while checking his calender and sending a text, all at the same time.
The device is not priced as of yet, and will hit Korea first in the Q3 of this year. No word on a North America release.
