Sprint releases LG Marquee video overview
Just like with the Motorola Admiral last week, Sprint has silently uploaded a new phone overview video on YouTube again. This time around, it’s the upcoming LG Marquee Android device. Touted as a “high style slim smartphone with a brilliant high resolution touch screen”, the phone looks like a pretty solid addition to Sprint’s Android line up.

Also known as the LG Optimus Black, it features LG’s power-saving NOVA technology on its 4″ high-resolution display, a 1GHz processor, a 5-megapixel rear camera, a 2-megapixel front facing camera, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, Sprint ID, Qik, Swype and Sprint TV. The phone will cost $100 on contract and is expected to be released on October 2^nd. Check out the video overview for yourself:

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.

LG: LG Corporation is a South Korean conglomerate that is based in Seoul. LG operates a number of subsidiaries including LG Electronics, LG Display, LG Telecom, and LG Chem. The conglomerate specializes in developing electronics, telecom products, and chemicals. LG Corp. was founded in 1947 by Koo In-Hwoi. Koo first established Lak-Hui Chemical Industrial Corp. in 1947. Today, Lak-Hui (pronounced lucky) is known as LG Chem. The company then expanded its business and created Goldstar Co. Ltd, now known as LG Electronics Inc. Both companies merged and formed Lucky-Goldstar, which was eventually renamed “LG” in 1995.

Sprint: Sprint is one of the major wireless carriers in the USA. It uses a mix of CDMA, WiMax and LTE Networks as the backbone of its infrastructure. The company's network is also used by third parties and mobile virtual operators like Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile, and Assurance Wireless. Sprint has about 55M subscribers.
