LG Secret Makes Second Stop in Latin America

Seoul, Korea (PRWEB) June 12, 2008

LG Electronics, a worldwide technology and design leader in mobile communications, announced the launch of LG Secret (model: LG-KF755) in Latin America on June 12th, 2008 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Following the successful launch in Europe, Latin America was selected as the second stop in a series of LG Secret launches around the world. Latin America is one of the most promising markets for LG Mobile business, particularly for the edition of LG Black Label Series. With the huge success of LG Chocolate and LG Shine, LG recorded the company’s second highest mobile sales units sold during the first quarter of 2008. LG in Latin America is widely recognized as a premium brand with excellence in consumer value.

“A consumer lifestyle research conducted in the recent months has shown that Latin American consumers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their selection of mobile phones. They are equally interested about the phone’s technical features as much as the exterior design credentials.”

Mr. Kyoung Hoon Byun, President & CEO of LG Electronics Central & South America Region continues, “In this regard, we are confident that LG Secret elegantly crafted in timeless design complimented with today’s most innovative mobile technology will be the perfect choice for the discerning Latin American consumers. We expect the new LG Black Label Series phone to be another huge hit in this region.”

Following the success of LG Chocolate and LG Shine that sold over 25 million units globally, the third model from the LG Black Label Series was developed to satisfy the tastes of trendsetters who desire a sophisticated design with an enduring elegance. The premium, understated style of the phone is reflected through the unique pattern and texture of the innovative carbon fiber material complimented with sleek tempered glass.

The name Secret symbolizes a slender and stylish handset that does not compromise benefits and convenience of smart, digital technology. The meaning of the product name, ‘LG Secret,’ is to tantalize the user with the intrinsic features of the phone and engage in a continual process of exploring the inner workings of the handset that will never go out of style. As the succession of launches around the globe, LG Secret first unveiled in Europe on April 24th, 2008 in London. Following its Latin America launch on June 12th, 2008 in Sao Paolo, LG Secret will continue its travel to Asia Pacific and onto the rest of the world. In Latin America, the third LG Black Label Series handset will be available in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and on to other countries within the 3rd quarter.

LG Secret (model: LG-KF755)

Timeless Style
LG Secret will always look new thanks to the materials incorporated into the phone. Carbon fiber, one of the strongest manmade composite materials used in aerospace and high-performance automotives, adds to the handset’s durability without compromising its sleek design. Tempered glass, adding sheen and strength, shields the front LCD with a polished simplicity and enhances the quality of multimedia experience. Neon Touch Navigation buttons sensitively respond to commands with illustrious effects in lavish blue.

Timeless Memories
Equipped with an advanced 5.0 mega-pixel camera built into the slimmest profile of any camera handset on the market (at 11.8mm), LG Secret boasts 120 fps video recording and playback. Timeless moments can be decorated with powerful photo and video editing features including Morphing (facial editing) and SmartLight, that automatically adjusts the picture’s light settings. Users can also take advantage of the Movie Maker software in the handset to create their own music videos.

Timeless Entertainment
Entertainment features include Touch Media that takes advantage of the touch screen to directly access five multimedia functions in a single button – music, photos, games, documents, and FM radio. Users can simultaneously flick through photos on the screen while listening to music. Word, Excel and PowerPoint files are easy to open and the handset is loaded with a Google Package that enables the user to surf the Internet, log into Gmail, use Google Maps and watch YouTube videos. Also inside are motion games that have a gyroscope-like effect enabled by the accelerometer sensor. With a tilt or rotation of the handset, the user can throw a dart, hook a fish, or navigate a maze..

Timeless Convenience
LG Secret makes life easier with Bluetooth auto-sync that automatically synchronizes with the PC and users do not have to be hassled by tangled USB cables. The Auto Rotating Display shifts the image on the screen for viewing in any position. Simply switch your view from narrow to wide by holding the phone horizontally. The Auto Luminance Control adjusts the screen lighting according to ambient brightness which results in viewing that is always clear. The third LG Black Label Series handset even stays true to the fundamentals, with Voice Clarity technology that guarantees the user with perfect sound quality even in a noisy environment.

LG Secret Makes Second Stop in Latin America

Could the Secret of Winning Major Voice Competitions Lie in Biofeedback?

(PRWEB) March 06, 2012

The Limited Edition Voice suite, just launched by the BFE-LFB program, is designed for use with the world-leading ProComp Infiniti biofeedback system manufactured by Thought Technology Ltd. In the suite, Dr Adam Kirkpatrick makes available his experience and knowledge to the novice to complement his established voice teaching method and exciting research.

Dr. Kirkpatrick is an associate professor of music at Kennesaw State University where he is head of the voice department. He has sung operatic roles and concerts professionally in many theatres throughout the US. When asked about the new suite, Lawrence Klein, Vice President at Thought Technology commented, The Voice software is a really exciting product that opens the door for biofeedback practitioners across the country to help singers improve both performance and health. Keeping the voice in top form is important, but mastering a technique that might provide the upper hand at an audition in a highly competitive industry is priceless.

Thought Technology is a corporate sponsor of the BFE-LFB program and will be exhibiting at the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB) Annual Conference in Baltimore this week. Biofeedback professionals can learn more about the equipment Adam Kirkpatrick uses with his voice suite at booths 21 and 22.

Biofeedback for Music and the Performing Arts

When asked for his comments on the use of biofeedback in the world of music and the performing arts, Mr. Klein replied, When McGill University required a wireless audience response system to measure affective response to live music in both the musicians and their audiences they chose the ProComp Infiniti system over all other competitive systems. (For more information on how the system is used http://www.thoughttechnology.com/pdf/Mcgill%20Ad%208.pdf) The use of biofeedback for optimal performance training is not new. In fact, Dr. Vietta Sue Wilson has used biofeedback with peak performers for years.

Peak Performance in Sports

The Optimizing Performance & Health Suite designed by Dr. Vietta Sue Wilson and published by the BFE is for professionals, educators and researchers who want to use biofeedback with athletes, executives and other peak performers. This Limited Edition suite supports techniques developed throughout Dr. Wilson`s career and her years spent training elite and Olympic athletes. It includes a specialized assessment script and an Excel report that allows easy interpretation and implementation of a training program directly from Dr. Wilsons practice.

Two users of Dr. Wilson`s suite are Tim Harkness and Pierre Beauchamp. Tim is a psychophysiologist involved in high performance stated, I am accustomed to using the Infiniti system to train athletes to perform under pressure. At Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United, and in front of a crowd of 40,000 people, I used my Infiniti system to analyse the sEMG of an England Rugby academy kicker executing kicks at half-time of a test match between England and Argentina. The assessment went smoothly; prepping the skin and attaching the electrodes was done in a few minutes. The athlete kicked 5/6, and reported no inhibition from the monitoring equipment.

Dr. Beauchamp holds a doctorate in Sports Psychology (University of Montreal) and Masters/Bachelors degrees from McGill University. A former McGill varsity hockey player, Pierre has over thirty-five years of coaching experience at the varsity level in football, hockey, track, golf and as a Canadian National Team coach and sport psychology consultant. Pierre was the Sport Psychologist for the Men’s and Women’s Canadian Olympic Short Track Speed Skating Team that won 2 Gold, 2 Silver and a Bronze medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWbuSSAwqN0
