LG is not, as rumoured, ditching Windows Phone 7 in favour of Android it seems with the electronics giant confirming as much to Pocket-lint.</p><p>

"None of it is true. Korea Herald is showing its speculative side again," a spokesman for the company in Korea exclusively told Pocket-lint before adding, "We are still on board with Windows Phone, but right now, we're focusing on Android because that's where the demand is."

Translation: LG isn't giving up making Windows Phone devices. Then again, it isn't very interested in making them either.

"Microsoft Corp. and LG Electronics have signed a patent agreement that provides broad coverage under Microsoft’s patent portfolio for LG’s tablets, mobile phones and other consumer devices running the Android or Chrome OS Platform. The contents of the agreement have not been disclosed."

Which means that Microsoft is getting a payment from 70% of the Android phones being sold in the US; the only one it doesn't presently have licensed is Motorola.

Does Google care? Possibly it doesn't: the payments aren't big enough yet to dissuade companies from making Android phones, and it still gets search share. But note how it also covers Chrome OS-based devices. Will Samsung have to sign the same?

The company also unveiled a fridge feature called Blast Chiller that can chill a bottle of wine in eight minutes. The refrigerator also features French doors, the largest of its kind on the market.

And not in the mood to vacuum? A new LG robot vacuum cleaner will clean up the house as you kick up your feet and relax on the couch while operating the device via a smartphone.

"LG has moved swiftly to release a patch for a problem that caused seemingly hundreds of Optimus 2X handsets to freeze and reboot.<br />
<br />
"The issue was first noticed two months ago and posted on XDA Developer Forums, where users began noticing the phone was rebooting randomly, freezing on a blank screen while still being turned on and getting very warm with the supplied charger.<br />
<br />
"This forum post is currently running at 106 pages of angry users who have tried everything from custom ROMs to even starting an online petition to get LG to acknowledge the problem."<br />
<br />
So much for dual-core and super-speediness. The patch is now up. Mac users are SOL, though, as the patch is a .exe - which of course will only run on a Windows machine. (Google Chromebook users? Err..)
