LG rolls out full touch-screen phone that looks like Apple iPhone

This is something that I kind of find funny -- LG Electronics, one of the top-5 handset makers in the world, recently unveiled the KE850 that looks uncannily like the just-released Apple iPhone, down to the full touch-screen interface and beyond.

Will LG be suing Apple soon according to the marketplace? It's hard to build a case if two products end up "looking alike" after being developed in secret and just having been announced at the same time.

But, it's quite humorous to say the least anyway. I mean, look at these two -- they "look" almost identical!
