LG’s CEO KW Kim has recently begun spilling details about an upcoming product. Sadly though, in this case the details are more of just a tease than something to truly look forward to seeing. So far, what we can tell you is that Kim told Emirates Business that they (LG) “will soon launch a new product, maybe by April.” And that the new product will be able to compete with Amazon and Apple.
Based on that one would, and really can only assume that it will be a tablet style device that also serves as an ebook reader. That said, this news, while interesting should not be all that surprising considering LG has been showing off ereader technology such as a solar powered ebook reader and solar illuminated LCD displays for a little while now.

I find it slightly amusing and at the same time annoying when I hear a company make a half-baked announcement such as this. I mean, if you are announcing that you have a product in the works that is going to directly compete against giants like Apple and Amazon, it would be a good idea to offer some photos and lots of specs. LG is just blowing smoke.
