LG Electronics and Google have announced a global collaboration to pre-install Google's services on millions of LG mobile phones. LG mobile phone users around the world will now be able to search for information, find locations, update blogs and manage email while on the move.

Representatives of LG said select LG handsets, pre-installed with Google products and services will be shipped globally including North America, Europe and Asia starting in the second quarter of 2007. These handsets aim to create a more dynamic user experience, including one click access to Google search through an icon in the application menu.

More features of LG-Google handsets include Google Maps for mobile, an application that enables users to view maps and satellite imagery, find local businesses, and get driving directions, Gmail for mobile and Blogger Mobile, an application to upload/download images and text to blog from mobile devices.

Deep Nishar, director of product management, Google said, "We're pleased to work with LG to make it easier than ever for mobile internet users to have powerful applications and personalized information at their fingertips. Users around the world now have more options for accessing information while on-the-go through search and Gmail. With applications like Blogger, users are now free to express themselves from wherever they are in the world."

LG plans to launch mobile handsets pre-installed with Google and products and service for the next few years with at least ten new handsets in 2007.
