LG Electronics on Thursday released a music phone developed as a “hand-held audio system.” The Rhapsody in Music phone is the first creation by audio engineer Mark Levinson since the company brought him in as a special consultant.

Levinson is a living legend in the audio industry, having designed a long list of high-end audio products since he established Mark Levinson Audio Systems at the age of 25. Now 61, Levinson helped to make sure LG’s new phone has the best possible sound quality and developed an exclusive earphone for it.

The slider brings an LED-lit touch-wheel to get you disco on, 1GB of built-in memory (expandable with another 4GB), 2-inch LCD, 2 megapixel camera, a terrestrial DMB television tuner for Korea, and Bluetooth A2DP stereo audio with the ability to stream to two listeners in parallel. Of course, there’s only so much tweaking an audio wizard can do with compressed MP3 files sent over a compressed Bluetooth audio stream.
