  • Totally agree man!
    Tried it and it is gorgeous but it ends there. It has come out too late in a world where smartphones and app stores rule.

  • At least it's got some cool stuff going on with James Cameron's movie Avatar.

    You can create your own avatar and dowload movie content at LG's Avatar website (www.lgavatar.com).
