Microsoft also indicated that the Marketplace has had some new anti-piracy security features installed as well.

The LG WinMo Specs

The LG GM750 sports a touch screen, 3G capabilities and all the usual Windows Mobile features. The lack of a physical keyboard is a pain when using the Office for Mobile applications -the onscreen keyboard is not effective for typing long documents. The Windows Media Player 10 supports a wide variety of video and music formats allowing users to use the device as a portable media player.

One really nice feature about the GM750 is its 5 mega pixel camera. The cam is supported by flash and auto focus which makes taking good images easy even for novice photographers. The high resolution also helps a lot for users who like to print the photos they take.
