Rather, LG says the move should open up the online multimedia services business to other players — itself included.

“If they’re creating the market and creating the use, we’re happy,” the head of LG’s mobile design strategy, Chang Ma, told Reuters at the IFA consumer electronics fair in Berlin.

LG has scored design hits with its “Chocolate” and “Shine” phones and this week at IFA launched its first premium feature phone, the “Viewty.” The device comes packed with user-friendly picture and video sharing features including a hot key to upload video to YouTube.
