At the Mobile World Congress, Toshiba have announced that they are to release a new mobile device to the European market this summer. The device has specs to rival both the iPhone and Xperia X1. The TG01 will feature a 4.1 inch touch screen with a resolution of 800 by 480 and run on Windows Mobile 6.
Toshiba have revealed that it will feature specs not found on other Windows Mobile based devices. To make the device as small and light as possible, the TG01 will feature Qualcomm Snapdragon technology, enabling the device to support GPS, Wifi, 3G networks and multimedia with a 1GHz CPU. The handset will also feature the same technology found in the Toshiba Regza line of TVs, providing excellent playback of videos and vivid colors. Other specifications of the phone include a 3.2 megapixel camera, a micro SDHC slot providing support of up to 32GB as well as built in 512MB ROM and 250MB RAM. The device will also support a variety of multimedia formats including MP3, WMA, AAC, MP4 and WMV. A custom user interface will also be found on the phone allowing rare features, such as the ability to switch to another application by tilting the phone.
Currently there’s no information on the price of the handset or which networks the phone will be available on. It has however been revealed that you’ll be able to pick the handset up in either black or white.
While multi booting operating systems is a feature primarily found on computers, laptops and netbooks, PalmAddicts have found it’s possible to use multiple operating systems on the X1. PalmAddicts have successfully modded an Xperia X1 to load the iPhone and Android OS, while keeping Windows Mobile on the device. Information on how to mod your X1 to do the same unfortunately haven’t been posted, but a video has been posted showing all three being booted on the X1.
Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X1 was made in partnership with HTC, the same makers of the HTC Touch, Pro etc, but it appears the X2, or another Windows Mobile based phone from Sony Ericsson will cut ties with HTC. The partnership will actually end when the production of the X1 ceases and completes it’s business circle. Instead, Sony Ericsson’s second Windows Mobile smartphone, will have a partnership with Mobinnova. Mobinnova is a Taiwan handset maker under Foxconn Electronics.
