LG challenges you to design the Perfect LG Phone
LG's Innovation Challenge to design the next LG phone
(Credit: LG)In what amounts to a cheap form of R&D, LG has launched an "Innovation Challenge" that invites the public to come up with a "dream phone." If you're the grand prize winner, you'll get the phone of your choosing, $10,000, a 52-inch LCD TV, and a HD DVD/Blu-Ray combo player. Of course, you'll probably have to give up all your rights to the design, but how many of you have the money to make your own phones anyway? Exactly. Better get cracking on those "dream phone" plans, though, as the contest ends on April 30, 2008. What is YOUR dream phone?
