Here’s some of the other stuff that happened in the wide world of mobile for Friday, August 7th, 2009:
- In addition to the BL40 and BL42, it looks like LG’s upcoming Chocolate series is also going to include a lower-end BL20 according to a newly-uncovered user agent profile. Whatever it is, it’s got a QVGA display — a far cry from the epic 21:9 unit on the BL40. [Via PhoneArena]
- Motorola’s W562 candybar for China has broken cover, and needless to say, you won’t find any Android here. CDMA and a 2 megapixel camera, yes, but no Android.
- More baby steps are being taken in states’ fights to jam phone signals in and around prisons. This time around, a Senate subcommittee has sent a bill to the full Senate that would allow individual states to plead their jamming case to the FCC, which — as of right now, anyway — seems pretty lukewarm to the idea in general.

- Acer — like Apple, Microsoft, Nokia, RIM, Palm, Google, LG, Samsung, and your cousin Ralph — is opening an app store. It expects the store to be ready in the next few months as it ramps up the barrage of new WinMo devices it’s been pimping over the course of the year. [Via PHONE Magazine]
- South Korea’s KT has confirmed that it’ll carry the iPhone at some point, though it’s refusing to spill details on exactly when or how that’ll go down. SKT’s apparently still in the mix, too, so we could end up without carrier exclusivity here. [Via Unwired View]
