LG wants in on some mobile market action and is launching the LG Optimus Z in Korea. The Optimus Z is available on both SK Telecom and KT, Korea’s two biggest wireless carriers. In an official announcement, LG has announced one of the capabilities of the LG Optimus Z to operate the device via PC by simply connecting the device via Bluetooth or USB and you can see your device’s screen on your PC and are able to interact with your device.

“In a first for Korean smartphones, the LG Optimus Z offers On Screen Phone function that lets user display their phone interface on the screen of their PC. Using Bluetooth or a data cable, the interface will appear onscreen, letting users manage the phone’s vari- ous functions – including applications and e-mail – on the computer. In addition, any documents, images or music files stored on the PC can be easily transferred to Optimus Z using this interface. Furthermore, Drag & Shake allows LG Optimus Z users to share files between smartphones with a simple shake of the handset, while LG Air Sync lets them constantly sync the phone with their PCs or other mobile digital devices.”
