lg chocolateEarlier this week Verizon Wireless released the Chocolate phone from LG, a device that could very well give the iPod some competition.

It includes a music player, a 1.3 MP camera, Bluetooth, a control wheel, and more in a sleek slider format with jet black paint and red buttons.

So while not chocolate covered, it resembles the shape of a chocolate bar.

It will be available from Verizon Wireless for $149.99 after a $50 instant online rebate and 2-year customer contract.

Over 1 million Chocolate units have already sold worldwide - with 2 global design awards.
