The CyON Cyber Folder, dubbed ``iBook,'' is part of the lineup focused on slimmer designs which appeal to Korean mobile users. ``The development of iBook testifies to the fact that LGIC is at the forefront of the smaller-the-better trend of the mobile handset market,'' said an LGIC spokesman. iBook, which is set to hit shelves next week, is based on LG's original layout but reduces the width to 15.7mm, the smallest among Korean handset models. One of the factors contributing to the smaller design is an upgraded core chip, the MSM3100, LGIC said. The model also targets the mobile Internet market in Korea, whose demand for this year is estimated to reach around eight million units. iBook's liquid crystal display (LCD) panel features eight lines of text for better data transmission. ·âú¶«Çøœ 2000/05/16 17:45

Intel, Mitsubishi may announce mobile phone alliance By Bloomberg News May 16, 2000, 10:05 a.m. PT TOKYO--Intel and Japan's Mitsubishi Electric said they will announce a joint development project tomorrow in Tokyo in what could be a mobile phone alliance. John Antone, president of Intel Japan, and Michio Nakanishi, president of Mitsubishi Electric's communications systems division, will hold a press conference at 11 a.m. in Japan tomorrow, the companies said in a release. "Until now, the relationship between the two companies had remained within the bounds of ordinary business, with Intel supplying products to Mitsubishi," said Mitsubishi spokesman Toshio Masujima. "We haven't been involved in any joint projects before." Masujima declined to say what the project was about. On Feb. 28, shares in Mitsubishi Electric, a chipmaker and a maker of mobile phone handsets, rose as much as 9.7 percent after reports said that the two companies would form a mobile phone alliance. According to the reports, Intel will supply Mitsubishi with microprocessors for portable information terminals and with advanced chips for a cellular phone under development. Mitsubishi will provide Intel with technology to connect cell phones and base stations that will allow the company to hasten development of chips for advanced cellular phones. Following the reports, Intel said it will set up a research center for new mobile phone technologies with three Japanese companies--personal computer software developer Justsystem and computer network integrators Access and Cybird. PacketVideo, a U.S. multimedia company that develops software for mobile phones, also will participate. At the time, Intel executives declined to confirm any alliance with Mitsubishi. Mobile phones are rapidly becoming the preferred medium for accessing the Internet in Japan, as more people use them to check information on Web sites, send email, trade stocks, and make bank transfers online.
