the Blackjack that runs on the Windows Mobile OS. Microsoft now has three of the five largest mobile manufacturers on its side, which include Motorola and the aforementioned Samsung.
LG has plans for at least two new smartphones with the first handsets hitting the market in the second half of 2007. Expect to see touch-screens on these devices, too, ’cause buttons suck.
LG’s move into the smartphone market with Microsoft will undoubtedly launch them even closer to the top of mobile-device heap. Hopefully we get a glimpse of things to come next week in Barcelona.

Motorola and Samsung will run a linux OS because they are part of the LiMo Foundation.
