Leading manufacturers unite against Google

Of course, these upcoming devices will take advantage of the best qualities that can be found in the companies' present models. According to APRL's (that's how the alliance is called) press-release, we can expect smartphones with a simple and clean design, SurePress touchscreen with an aspect ratio of 51:9 (that's LG's part) and a magnificent hardware QWERTY keyboard. The software will not support multitasking, but will benefit from an enormous app storefront and outstanding business capabilities. The first phone to run the new OS will appear sometime in Q1 2011 (probably on Feb 30).

Yeah I realize that now. It was still 11:48pm when I first read it, so I wasn't even thinking about April fools.

I know this one is fake! Hell would freeze over before Apple unites with anyone. Fanboys and non-fanboys alike can agree on that.

April Fool, But Why would LG be in such a group, they dont have there own proper software like the others.

They probably couldn't think of anyone else :P But Nokia or Samsung would've been better since they're larger than LG.

the screen ratio of 51:9 should have raised a few eyebrows ;)
