Are you still attracted by the smart phone demonstrated by Apple boss Steve Jobs at the annual Macworld Expo in San Francisco? LG Electronics has teamed up with fashion brand Prada to unveil a similar touch-screen multimedia phone as well.

Like the iPhone, it has a 2 megapixel camera, video and music player and completely buttonless interface. The phone is a bit smaller, but also slightly thicker, than the iPhone. And instead of a hard drive, it’s got a slot for removable memory cards — something the iPhone lacks. It also has third-generation high-speed wireless network connectivity and Bluetooth capabilities.

However, it does not feature a Wi-Fi wireless connection, nor will it be able to play iTunes files.A comparison of the tech-specs reveals that the Apple product is superior in several areas, including screen resolution, data networking ability and internal memory.The phone is a tri-band GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) model (900/1800/1900MHz) with support for EDGE data transmission 

The Prada phone will beat the iPhone to market, in Europe anyway, debuting next month for about $775. No word yet on when US carriers will offer the phone.

Should we go with a user interface for an electronic device developed by Apple or one developed by LG/Prada?
