Today LG Electronics(LG Cell phone news) proposed to start adding Dolby Mobile to high-end phones later this year, it said Wednesday.
The two companies have reached a deal that will make South Korea’s LG the first cell phone maker to incorporate the Mobile version of Dolby’s system into its handsets. Dolby Mobile is an audio processing system tuned to match the processing and audio capabilities of cell phones.
As cell phones have gotten more complex in recent years, a lot of effort has been spent improving the screens but relatively little work has been done on the audio systems. While most phones today feature an MP3 music player it’s been more or less an after thought in many handsets, but with more and more people using the function a richer, deeper, better sound could become a key selling point.
LG is currently the fourth largest cell phone maker in the world with an 8.2 percent share of the market in the first three months of this year. It shipped 24.4 million [m] handsets during the quarter on strength from emerging markets and its domestic market in South Korea. But shipments slipped in Europe.
The LG KP265 cell phone includes: music player with support for MP3, WMA, AAC, AAC+ and eAAC+ files, stereo speakers, Bluetooth 2.0 and FM radio. The LG KP265 cell phone(LG Cell phone Reviews) also includes video player (supporting MPEG4, H.263 and WMV), but I’m not sure how useful it can be. That’s because, although the LG KP265 cell phone supports 262K colors, the display of KP265 is a pretty small one: only 1.8 inches and 128 x 160 pixels.

The LG KP265 cell phone is a basic phone with pre-installed music player. The LG KP265 cell phone(LG Cell phone Previews) sports a 1.3 megapixel camera, 262K color TFT screen, and a microSD slot. And that’s it – there’s nothing special about the phone, aside from the music playback capabilities.
