By Editorial Team (Monday, 19th November 2007)

Electronics manufacturer LG has announced details of a new range of handsets for the US market.

According to reports, the Korean manufacturer is to launch a range of new mobile handsets, which - it has been suggested - will be targeted to compete against the iPhone as they will feature touch-screen technology.

Presently, two handsets have been launched by LG and have been dubbed Voyager and Venus.

"The Voyager phone will have a retail price tag of about $350 [£170] and the Venus model one of $250," said a representative for LG.

Tony Smith of Register Hardware, added: "They're not identical, but it's not hard to imagine Apple getting more than a little hot under the collar about this one."

Although both handsets are equipped with two screens, the Voyager handset is also built with an onboard keyboard.
