The Toshiba TG01 is the latest touch screen phone from the Japanese company which perhaps has everything firsts in the mobile industry. And since there have already been a lot of handsets claiming to be the iPhone killer, this could perhaps be another try for such.
It is powered by a Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon Chip which is the first phone to run such, and is said to be faster than any other devices we have today with an assurance to “revolutionize the mobile entertainment world.” This 99mm thin handset will boast the largest screen in mobile phones which is of 4.1 inches WVGA of 800 x 480 pixels touch screen display.
It will run an improved Windows Mobile 6.1 OS with Tosh 3D interface and with advanced features like 3G HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS and A-GPS support, and DivX support. It will also have a virtual track pad for navigation while net surfing. This will also have applications such as YouTube, Google and Facebook and like any other smart phones, this is said to react to gestures such as answering calls through shaking the phone.
There’s no word on its pricing yet and will perhaps be released on markets sometime around the 3rd quarter of this year in Europe. It is also expected to see this in the coming MWC 2009.
