LG’s latest Chocolate handset, the BL40 has been unveiled. It packs a 4″ widescreen high definition LCD display at 800 x 354 resolution, which is a first for cellphones. That gives you an aspect ratio of 21:9, which comes in handy for a Dual Screen UI.

It’s a beauty alright. The new LG Chocolate’s screen is overlaid with curved tempered glass seamlessly encased in a glossy black finish with red highlights. No word on pricing, but the new LG Chocolate should be available in 54 countries in Q3.

Vudu has announced that its service will be integrated in a number of LG televisions. Previously, Vudu had it’s own set top box to deliver the videos. It’s a smart move as this will make things cheaper for users being integrated in the TV and Vudu has to make less hardware.

The new VUDU also brings instant fast forward and rewind and instant start for all movie qualities, and there’s no monthly fee associated with the service. The following LG TVs will feature the new Vudu VOD service: 60PS80, 50PS80, 47LH50, 42LH50 (60, 50, 47 an 42 inches).

LG has released the LG-LV7500 2G clamshell phone in the Korean market. This one is also known as the ‘Whistle’ phone. It features 115 LED lights on the front panel so that users can create their own emoticon designs. It must be aimed at tweens.

The ‘Whistle’ comes in your choice of four colors and sports a car diary function and automatic international roaming service in 18 countries. This one will cost you $322 and is only for the Korean market currently.

This is the New X120 Mini from LG. It’s a pretty average Netbook powered by your run of the mill Atom CPU, with 1GB of RAM, 160GB of HDD and a 10.1” WSVGA LED Backlight LCD. Nothing unusual there.

Oh…It’s all in the jeans. The new X120 is a Levi’s Jeans branded Notebook with a Jeans design and even a dedicated Levi’s pouch. They sure took the Jeans theme and ran with it. But the question is, how will they market this? Throwing in some free Levi’s would be sweet.

The folks at the FCC have just approved the latest Windows Mobile 6.1-powered smartphone from LG, the LG GW600. The new phone will come with Video Share, a half-QWERTY keyboard, a touchscreen display for easy navigation and a stylus.

You’ll also be able to surf with Wi-Fi, use GPS navigation, snap photos with a 3-megapixel camera, a microSD memory card slot and Bluetooth support. It’s too early to talk price or availability of course. This one is too fresh.

If you’re looking for an affordable slider, you may want to check out the newly launched LX290 from LG. You can get this handset via Sprint for just $29.99 with a 2-year contract agreement (after a $50 mail-in rebate).

As for specs, don’t expect anything powerful. Don’t even expect it to stand out from any crowd. It boasts a 1.33 x 1.77 inch QVGA TFT screen, a 1.3MP camera with 2x digital zoom, GPS (Sprint Navigation), Picture Messaging, Bluetooth, NFL Mobile Live, a 2.5mm headset jack and a 950 mAh battery for up to 6 hours of talk time.

Here’s a very legit looking promo video for the company’s new Chocolate. It looks pretty awesome. Apparently the rumored 21:9 800 x 345 display is real. There’s also a nice Flash-based 3D UI, multitouch, AGPS, WiFi, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, and a scratch-proof glass screen.

It’s surprisingly thin too, even with all that. Can the masses handle something of such length? Or is it too long? We shall see.

LG has announced an entry-level messaging handset in the LG GW300. It comes pre-loaded with Facebook, letting you poke your friends to your hearts content. Some other features include a full QWERTY keypad, a 2.4” 240×320 QVGA display, stereo Bluetooth connectivity, USB 2.0 alongside 2.5G GSM, GPRS/EDGE network support.

No 3G here. Why they wouldn’t throw in Wi-Fi support in absence of 3G we have no idea. No word on the camera’s megapixels either, but you shouldn’t expect too much considering that this one is on the cheaper side.

I know you’ve been patiently waiting for LG’s GD910 ever since December of last year, when we first heard about it. It was supposed to hit shelves this month in Europe, but now it looks like you’re going to have to wait until August, at least in the UK.

The price remains elusive, but it will likely cost over $1,000. That’s a lot of dough just to look cool talking on your watch. We will surely know more by August, so stay tuned.

In a great bit of marketing, LG is attempting to lure consumers toward its latest energy efficient refrigerator with an unusual launch. The company has designed a 70-meter long container ship disguised as their new refrigerator.

The football field sized ship/refrigerator sailed up the Seine from Le Havre to Paris between June 22 and June 25. The company brags that the refrigerator consumes low power, though we aren’t confident that the worldwide launch of this new LG side-by-side refrigerator was anywhere near environmentally-friendly. But it is clever.

LG has finally announced that its first 3D LCD, the 47-inch 47LH50, will be available for purchase next month. Don’t get too excited. It’s headed to Korea. The new TV is based on the 47LH50, so shares its model number, and is functionally identical.

The only difference being that it will have you wearing dorky polarized 3D glasses once in a while. We may just see it here in the US at some point. The old 47LH50 made it to the US, so this one just might as well. No price info yet, but the old one was about $2000.

LG just released its latest full HD 3D LCD display. We’re talking 23″ of 3D right in your living room, along with double the brightness of a standard 3D LCD display. This allows LG to claim that they are the first in the world. Not that they like to brag or anything.

Thanks to time-sequential technologies, both right and left eyes will view different images, fooling you into thinking that you’re actually looking at a 3D image. Wait. What if I don’t want to be fooled? Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice and I just might enjoy 3D images on your LCD sirs.

Looks like LG will be releasing a new 12-megapixel cell phone later in the year. Take it with a grain of salt, but it could very well happen. 12-megapixels will likely replace the new 8-megapixel camera phones that are all over the market.

Sure, the lens isn’t up to par with those of a standard digital camera, but it’s always a march forward. Lens tech will just have to catch up. Who cares if those extra MP are useless?

Those living in the UK will soon have a chance to pick up LG’s Viewty Smart handset as it will be available in that part of the world next month. To refresh your memory, it sports a 3″ touchscreen display, WVGA resolution, 7.2Mbps HSDPA connectivity, aGPS support, Wi-Fi and the 3D S-Class UI.

If you Brits like what you see, you’ll want to pick one up next month. You’ll also dig this handset’s 8-megapixel camera, which should give you nice crisp images. No word yet on pricing.

LG is making it easy for iPod owners to get into home theater with the LG HB954TBW Blu-ray 5.1 Home Theater Combo that features a unique slide-out iPod dock. It will accept all iPods, but we aren’t sure if it spits iPhones out or not.

We just think that pop out iPod tray is cool and keeps it all tucked away when not in use. It was introduced at CES 2009 and the system is selling in Korea and includes 5.1 speakers, amplification and a Blu-ray player. It will cost about a grand, which isn’t bad at all.
