"The agreement ensures continued strategic collaboration in R&D, marketing, applications, and services in the field of converged mobile devices," LG said in a statement."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/ppct/auto/1225840059.usr7.jpg" /><br /><em><span style="font-size: xx-small;">flickr: <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/orinrobertjohn/159744546/">Orin Optiglot</a></span></em></p><p>So Koo was like "Hey Steve, Lets Collaborate" and Steve was like "OK". Seriously, it's never bad to see agreements like this, as they hopefully mean more market saturation for Windows Mobile and, in turn, cooler devices for us. But really, when was the last time you saw something directly come of these agreements? Too bad the announcement is public but the results rarely traced back to it.</p>
