PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless "Has the era of the 1GHz smartphone arrived? It has for Toshiba, which has tapped Qualcomm's new Snapdragon silicon. The Toshiba TG01 Windows Mobile phone was unveiled Tuesday, according to reports. Based on Windows Mobile 6.1, it is designed to take on the iPhone 3G. Only 9.9mm thick, it uses a 4.1-inch WVGA 800 x 480 384k pixel resistive touch screen and comes with support for 3G HSPA, Wi-Fi, GPS and assisted-GPS. The TG01 is slated to be available in Europe this summer. The price, at this time, has not been disclosed (Acer and Asus are also expected to bring out Snapdragon-based products)."

The specs are impressive but hey.. windows mobile? That platform needs a complete rewrite before it can compete with the iPhone in terms of UI and usability.

I'd be more interested to see the same device running Android which seems to be improving at a steady pace.

"Copy and Paste capability".

That, right there, kills the iPhone for a lot of people.

I'll stick with my clunky Treo 800w and Windows Mobile 6.1.
