Bloomberg: ‘LG to Sideline Tablet Development to Focus on Smaller Devices’

Jun Yang, reporting for Bloomberg:

LG Electronics Inc., the world’s No. 4 mobile-phone maker, will sideline tablet computer development to focus more on smaller devices rather than compete head-on with Apple Inc.’s iPad. “We’ve decided to put all new tablet development on the back burner for the time being in order to focus on smartphones,” Ken Hong, a spokesman for Seoul-based LG, said in an e-mailed response to queries.

LG had tablets on the front burner?
