Michael Bay Arrives at the LG Booth

Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments


Just a short vid showing Michael Bay and who I believe is his publicist or agent (feel free to correct me; I’m referring to the blonde women walking next to him) arriving at the LG exhibit at CTIA 2009.  Michael was in Vegas for Showest and stopped by the LG exhibit to talk about the relationship between LG and Transformers 2 and hype up the movie a bit.  Michael strolled through the exhibit, shook hands, and seemed like a pretty nice guy even asking an onlooker if he wanted to take a photograph with him (the onlooker had been snapping photos of Michael prompting the offer).  Look him up on IMDB or click on the Michael Bay link on my previous post for more info.

Stroll Through the LG Exhibit at CTIA 2009

Filed Under Business, Design, Interviews | Comments

Just a quick walk through of the LG exhibit at CTIA 2009 in lovely Las Vegas. I’m going to have to give the LG display the infamous Mobo Media nod for having the most aesthetically pleasing booth at CTIA. It also gets the award for biggest booth by a major handset manufacturer (not sure of actual sq. ft.; just eye-balling).  I know Santa Ana, CA’s Powerwave had a much larger exhibit complete with one of only seven (I think I heard that correctly) full-motion, virtual reality Formula 1 simulators in the world but they’re in a different category altogether (Note: their booth was just as big last year and while the vast majority of CTIA exhibitors downsized, Powerwave maintained sq. ft. and location).

I took some pics of noteworthy features and posted them via Twitpic. I’ll get those up on the site soon. I think my ADD kicked in as I walked by the wall of new Xenon’s and I neglected to post a pic of those sexy handsets that occupied a large piece of LG property. Click here to read Nicole Lee’s review of the Xenon on CNET.

I’ll be posting a couple more vids of Michael Bay doing a promo for Transformers (LG was involved with Transformers 2) and the new LG “Transformers” Handset (looks weak).

Full Disclosure: I am half Korean but I assure you that my ethnicity in no way biased my write-up of LG or it’s display. Did I mention Samsung’s exhibit? I kid, I kid. I own two Fords and a Yamaha and have a Blackberry. There!

Note: please forgive the out-of-frame shots. I was using my new Flip MinoHD for the first time and am still getting used to framing my self.
