LG's Qiblah jumps on the Islamic bandwagon

We've seen it before, cellphones with a marketing pitch aimed at the Islamic nations of the world. So we really shouldn't be surprised that LG is releasing the Qiblah (LG-F7100), which will feature an integrated compass for praying to Mecca and an alarm to keep you on schedule for your five daily prayers. We just want to know when we should expect an Obeyah or Hindu-themed handset, you know, to be truly pluralist. Shoot, even the Chinese goddess Matsu gets a cellphone.

for hindus, moon phases would be a plus. The compass would also come in handy. It's good to have your shrine either facing south or west so that you face east or north while you're meditating.
