(except the first time into the media player) As to an SDK, who knows? I've not heard one way or the other yet whether they'll open it up. They did mention a download store at the launch so I presume there must be some way of getting apps on there! (anybody from LG want to comment on that?)

And for sdk i mean sdk for interface moding or widgets creation, not java, java is not usefull on these phones, i own a Renoir and no documentation about modifying interface or create widgets, need hacking for that. Java loose a portion of screen on touch screen phone, for emulated keys, so better to wrote an application on native Os langage. Lg is know by some users/devs to not distribute documentation about that.

I do not understand why djk is spewing misinformation?! It does not use a closed OS. SDK's are gladly distributed to any developers who request them. The OS supports java so any existing java apps can easily be ported. I had an in depth look at the phone last week and it is very impressive. The phone is VERY FAST!

The UI software is probably at an early beta stage. I think the Arena looks to be an exciting prospect, the cube UI in particular looks very interesting.
