Introduced in early February 2009 and later unveiled at the Mobile World Conference, the TG01 is a high end touchscreen cellphone from Toshiba. With a large 4.1" WVGA touchscreen, the 9.9mm thick handset is the worlds first to be powered by the 1GHz Snapdragon CPU. This allows for a custom 3D interface running on Windows Mobile 6.1, as well as increasingly power-hungry entertainment functionality. Of course the device includes all of the standard features for a cellphone of this calibre: fast HSDPA data, GPS, WiFi, 3.2MP camera, and a microSD slot for expansion. A release date is planned for sometime in the summer; no MSRP has been announced.
