the iPhone didn't qualify for the 2007 awards because of its release data, but took the 'best of the best' award the following year (http://en.red-dot.org/2785+M5efb178ab01.html). Prototypes can only be considered for an award if they are going to be released before a certain date (this year it's July 1st 2009).

Stop your trolling. You're just as bad as iEye. ]]>Feb 7th 2009 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/Feb 6th 2009 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/

I was talking purely about the interface. The spinning cube looks like the oringinal TouchFLO, and the icons DEFINITELY look like the iPhones. The ones on the right cube are pretty close looking.

I agree, however, that the iPhone looked a LOT like the prada.]]>Feb 7th 2009 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/
They were both working on it at the same time, LG just managed to announce their product a month earlier. The iPhone wasn't the first touch screen phone, just as the iPod wasn't the first MP3 player. But the iPhone (just like the iPod) was the first to get it right.]]>Feb 7th 2009 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/Feb 6th 2009 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/Feb 6th 2009 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/Feb 6th 2009 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/*wow, i thought it's a car*]]>Feb 7th 2009 8:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/Feb 6th 2009 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/

1) Tegra phones
2) Android phones
3) Snapdragon phones
4) Palm Pre GSM
5) And last, AND LEAST, WinMo 6.5

That alone would make it the best event in many years. I suspect any phone will top Tegra or the Pre.... if a phone does do that, I hope it's an Android.]]>Feb 6th 2009 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/Feb 7th 2009 2:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/Feb 7th 2009 8:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/Feb 6th 2009 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/Feb 7th 2009 1:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/

So, as Nokia showed off what they had coming up, Sony Ericsson, LG and Samsung presenters had to be kept out of the room.

LG did a scooby doo trick and dressed up as Orange store managers. Someone notices (how, I don't know) and we had to kick them out. ]]>Feb 7th 2009 5:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/

never heard of that. you got a source other then the street?

@bjay,

come on dude. the UI is blatantly similiar to the iphone. i am wondering if they can actually put out a phone with a UI like that.]]>Feb 6th 2009 8:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/
The iPhone UI is blatantly similar to Hildon, S60, etc. UIs evolve over time. People need to stop trying to pretend like they have to be starkly different because in effect, everyone copies from everyone else. ]]>Feb 6th 2009 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/Feb 6th 2009 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/Feb 6th 2009 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/Feb 6th 2009 9:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/Feb 6th 2009 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/
I think people dont pretend, it is just that they dont know.

Hence my questions.

I think you shouldnt pretend that everyone knows everything about UI copyright infringement. Thanks for the info though. I should have thought about that when engadget compared the pre and iphone]]>Feb 6th 2009 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/
I for one hope some phones keep tactile buttons. I like touchscreens just fine, but it's not the same as having real buttons (hence all the iPhones with keyboards we keep seeing). I would rather have an ugly phone that was a breeze to use than a beautiful phone that was a pain.]]>Feb 6th 2009 10:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/lg-arena-km900-press-photo-leaked-by-lg/

and this,
http://images.businessweek.com/ss/07/12/1221_vertu/image/slide-10-lg-prada.jpg

which icon scheme it resembles the most? ok u will still say the one with black and white icons rite?

either way, i would say that the LG Arena design is a ripoff of Samsung Omnia. they both look pretty similar,
http://www.gadgettastic.com/wp-content/2008/08/samsung-omnia.jpg

i can't see any reason why u wouldn't agree with it.

btw, Android FTW!
