Ok here is one more iPhone Killer on the block. There have been many iPhone killers before this one but none of them was able to actually kill the multi-touch bliss iPhone whether it is the XPERIA X1 or the Nokia 5800 or the Blackberry Storm. Anyway, the new iPhone killer comes from the popular electronics manufacturer, Toshiba and is named as TG01, seems like the name of some kind of Tank.
The TG01 is 9.9mm thick ultra-slim handset and has a massive 4.1 inch touch screen display with a resolution of 800x480 pixels. The phone's touch screen is powered by Toshiba's REGZA technology. The phone runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 OS and no other Windows Mobile OS based smartphone today boasts that kind of massive touch screen interface. So actually this phone might be a threat for other Windows Mobile based handsets that are there in the market. The other thing that makes this phone a clear winner over its Windows Mobile based siblings is that, it has a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, fastest on the block. The TG01 has a unique striped menu interface.
Other features of the phone include custom built 3D touch interface with gesture control, HSDPA connectivity, A-GPS, Wi-Fi Connectivity, Bluetooth 2.0, G-Sensor (built-in three dimensional accelerometer), 3.2 mega pixel snapper and a front camera for video calling. The phone has expandable memory with microSD support, Flash DivX support. The phone's features are pretty impressive, but I am not sure if Windows Mobile will complement all the cool features that this phone has. I am sure that, Toshiba will soon start thinking of having other mobile OS like Android or the LiMo Platform on this phone as a dedicated smart phone junkie would prefer something good over Windows Mobile OS. Anyway, the phone has some really cool features that are not there in the iPhone but it wont be able to steal iPhone's market acceptance. Yeah, one thing is for sure it will be a real threat for other WinMo based mobile handsets/smart phones.
