The company will "continue research and development efforts" on the mobile OS, however.
Among the handful of WP7 devices it makes, the recent Optimus 7 has caught a bit of popularity. However, the company notes that WP7 only controls 2 percent of the global smartphone market, not enough to warrant the capital outlay.
Says a spokesperson: "The total unit[s] of Windows Phone sold in the global market is not a meaningful figure."
In 2009, LG made a strong commitment to the platform, setting a roadmap with 26 WP7 phones for 2012, alone. That has clearly changed in a short period as the OS has not yet reached critical mass adoption.
