The Phone wears Prada

Still ooh-ing and ahh-ing over Apple's iPhone that Steve Jobs pimped out at MacWorld earlier this month? LG Electronics has teamed up with fashion brand Prada to unveil a similar touch-screen multimedia phone as well.

Like the iPhone, it has a 2 megapixel camera, video and music player and completely buttonless interface. The phone is a bit smaller, but also slightly thicker, than the iPhone. And instead of a hard drive, it's got a slot for removable memory cards - something the iPhone lacks. It also has third-generation high-speed wireless network connectivity and Bluetooth capabilities.

However, it does not feature a Wi-Fi wireless connection, nor will it be able to play iTunes files.

The Prada phone will beat the iPhone to market, in Europe anyway, debuting next month for about $775. No word yet on when U.S. carriers will offer the phone - LG.
