L G Mobile and Sprint teamed up last night with actress Ali Landry ("Bella," "ABC's Superstars") to celebrate the debut of the new LG Viper 4G LTE Android smartphone at Home Studios, located in the historic Flatiron / Union Square neighborhoods of New York City. Event goers experienced how technology can be used to bring families together with the introduction of tools like the "Life's Good Fairytales" app, a customizable storyboard that allows parents and children to bond over the creation and sharing of unique fairytales via their LG smartphone.

"A lot of today's parents work hard on the job then come home to commitments and family demands," said power parent Ali Landry. "It can be easy to fall into the trap of mixing work with family time. That's why it's paramount for busy parents to have a smartphone like the new LG Viper 4G LTE that is not only dependable, but easily fits into their lifestyle. The LG Viper 4G LTE smartphone makes it's easier for me to stay connected with family, friends and business partners, and its technology and wide variety of useful apps allow me to juggle my personal and professional time in this fast-paced world."

Gathered in the brilliant 4,000-square-foot studio, guests were invited to use the LG Viper 4G LTE smartphone to discover ways in which parents can reform bad tech habits that interfere with quality family time. Drawing from her experience as a model, actress and full-time mother, Ali Landry shared how the LG Viper 4G LTE smartphone and applications like Box (50 GB of free cloud storage for all LG smartphone devices) and "Life's Good Fairytales" can help parents stay connected with work and family without having to sacrifice one for the other. Demonstrated in Home Studios' custom-made children's bedroom, guests used the "Life's Good Fairytales" app to customize their own stories by uploading photos, names and voices directly into LG Viper 4G LTE smartphones. "Life's Good Fairytales" will be available for free to LG Viper 4G LTE owners beginning April 27 in Google Play.

With LG Viper 4G LTE and apps like 'Life's Good Fairytales,' busy parents can stay connected to their families more easily than ever before-no matter where their work might take them."
