We can see the commercial in our heads now: “But Toshiba makes laptops,” Man on the Street says. Cue techno music and flashing image of the TG01, with tagline, “At 9.9 mm thin, it’s cooler than your iPhone.” The touchscreen measures 4.1 inches with WVGA resolution, and there’s a 1Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor inside running Windows 6.1 Mobile. Other features include HSDPA Internet, HSUPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, a microSD card slot, built-in GPS and DivX support. Also, you can shake the phone to answer and end calls. Perhaps the tagline should read, “Don’t get too irate on the phone or you’ll accidentally hang up.” [T3 via MobileCrunch]
