LG might argue that it started the smartphone revolution just slightly before Apple did. The LG Prada, released in 2006, beat the iPhone just slightly in the black-rectangle-touchscreen form factor race, and the two companies have bickered about it since.
Meanwhile, LG has slipped behind Apple and Samsung to third place in the worldwide smartphone wars, though it sits further back in Australia (the brand still enjoys healthy market share in Asia). With the adoption of the Android operating system into the flagship Optimus range of phones, LG has a chance to compete with Samsung and HTC for Android dominance.
