Smallest and fastest are the words that haunt the gadget industry. People love to say my gadget is smaller than yours! Likewise people also equally love to say "my gadget is faster than yours!" Keeping the people's hunger for speed, Toshiba has launched the all new mobile phone, Toshiba TG01.Toshiba Corporation is a Japanese multinational conglomerate manufacturing company, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. The company's main business is in Infrastructure, Consumer Products, and Electronic devices and components. Toshiba is now trying to create a mark for itself in the Mobile Phone industry with the all new Toshiba TG01.
Toshiba launched the TG01 on the Orange network in the UK today. It's based on Qualcomm's 1GHz Snapdragon, the fastest processor in a mobile phone to date.
Toshiba's emphasis is on media handling on the move, so the phone is mostly screen - a 4.1-inch resistive touch display - and at only 9.9mm it's almost as thin as a freshly purged supermodel.
The Toshiba TG01 Mobile phone will be available on a 24-month, £39.15 per month plan from Orange as of today. Unfortunately the phone is let down by its OS - Windows 6.1. The INQ had a fumble with the handset at the launch event last night, but even the Toshiba and Orange demonstrators found it a tad cumbersome to navigate at times.The WM6.1 is hardly the best way to show off the power of the processor behind it. Toshiba has promised an update to WM6.5 when Microsoft finally gets around to releasing it. There are some firmware additions by Orange, which could also have been the reason for our slower than expected handset experience.
But then if you wait around for a few days website Xda-developers will surely have an Android ROM for the TG01.
On the whole, Toshiba TG01 is the fastest mobile phone so far, still there's long time to go before we could talk about the usability and performance of this lighting fast device.
