Summary: An Android phone which is affected by Microsoft's patent tax will be better off ignored in favour of other Linux phones

LG is a corrupt company which signed a Novell-type patent deal with Microsoft [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. The last time we wrote about its offences was here and now it brings Microsoft tax to Android (Linux) in Canada.

LG has launched its first Android phone, a QWERTY slider called the "Eve," on Rogers Wireless' network in Canada. In other Android news, LG is prepping a second Android phone, this time with a Snapdragon processor, for Korea, and Philips has launched a V808 oPhone handset in China.

This is a phone to avoid because of the company which makes it (legitimising Microsoft's invalid accusations against Linux). ⬆
