LG Not Currently Developing Windows Phone Devices

May 2, 2012, 7:20 AM by Eric M. Zeman

LG had admitted that while it is not abandoning Microsoft's smartphone platform, it isn't actively developing any new models that will run Windows Phone. "Although we currently don’t have a new Windows device in the pipeline, that is simply because demand for Android devices is so strong," said LG in a statement provided to AllThingsD. "We've maintained since the beginning that LG will support whatever operating system consumers want but at the moment, our priority is to get our Android devices to a level where we feel we have strong coverage of all the major markets." LG has so far fielded only one Windows Phone device, the Quantum, which was sold by AT&T in 2010.
