...2 more interesting LG items...

[rhcarr]

First, I just saw that LG stands for "Lucky Goldwater". Heh. Sounds like some kid I played tee ball with when I was 5...

....also, you might wanna' take a look here. Found this on the official Bluetooth website....the info is sparse at best, but I'm wondering if the LG5350 in actually Bluetooth compatible. We carry the Jabra Bluetooth headsets at work....out of 'em now, but when we get some more in, I'll hook one of them up to my phone & let everyone know the results. They're kinda' pricey (around $90), but they sure as hell beat the Jabra Non-Bluetooth headsets that run around $180...

Easy,

Sorry, this weird, bastardized version of UBB seems to be mucking about with the link. Just copy & paste below for the link:

Actually LG stands for Lucky Goldstar. They used to be known as Goldstar Electronics in the US. I think Goldstar got a bad rep, so they went back to their Japanese name initials, LG.

Whenever someone talks about korean companies, everyone is like "eww they are a third world county". They see Hyundais, they think they are Hondas. They see Daewoos and think they are chinese. They see LG and think it is made in japan. So many nice things come out of korea, but korea never gets credit. korea, like japan, is more technologically advanced than the U.S... not third world countries at all.
