Wireless handset giant, LG Electronics, and Google announced plans today  for international cooperation to pre-install the Google service into upcoming LG phones.  The idea is to allow mobile users the option of Google services including easily managing searches, e-mail, blogs, and location searches, LG Electronics stated.

“Building on our efforts to set new standards for wireless handsets, we are excited to partner with Google to offer extra value to consumers with enhanced mobile Internet experiences,” said Mr. Paul Bae, Vice President of the Product Planning Team at LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “LG’s mobile devices, combined with Google, will provide consumers with easy access to their favorite Internet services even without a PC and make it easy for them to stay connected while in motion.”

A select group of LG devices are expected for release internationally for Europe, North America, and Asia in the second quarter of 2007.  Some features included in the new collaboration are Google Maps, Gmail, and Blogger Mobile.

This new partnership is only the beginning to the two companies' move towards a future of digitizing homes.  LG and Google are planning on releasing at least ten new phones in 2007 and continuing the development over the next few years.
