The iPhone is the LG Prada Phone is the Onyx Concept…Confused Yet?

Posted on 17 January 2007 by


Vincent just called to tell me that he spent 14 hours on the story he’s posted at MYiPhone concerning the sibling bond between the Apple iPhone and the LG Prada Phone, two children spawned by their parent the Onyx Concept phone.

Vincent says, “iPhone was raised by Apple in the United States, while LG KE850 was raised in Seoul by LG Electronics (later sold off to Prada). The two brothers were worlds apart and were recently made aware of one another for the first time. It’s still unknown as to which is the elder of the two.  But what I do know with 99.99% certainty is that the LG KE850 derived from the Onyx Concept phone, made by Synaptics.

As he also states, the purpose of his story is “to share with you similar characteristics between the Onyx Concept phone, iPhone and LG KE850. It’s not [his] position to take sides as to whether Apple copied LG or vice versa; we’ll leave that up to the courts.”

If you are interested in the iPhone, and let’s face it – everyone is on some level or another, then you should check out Vincent’s video-laden article.

I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford
