LG rolls out slick phone UI, invites you to play with it via desktop widget

LG is very proud of their S-Class OS and want everyone to get some playtime with it. So the easiest way to do that is to create a downloadable widget for your computer and let you play with the 3D tumbling and sliding fun of the S-Class OS right from the comfort of your very own machine. This is roughly the opposite of what Apple did with their OS-X migrating from computers to the iPhone OS.

The download is an interesting beast. The widget uses InstallShield to install on your machine. You are asked to agree to what I am sure are ridiculous terms and away the install goes. Clicking on the cube icon launches the UI widget. A cube appears allowing you to spin through the four main sides of the cube: Desktop, Widgets, Games, Multimedia.
