I know I'm gonna get downranked for mentioning Apple, but besides that, I am 100% certain that the iPhone/Touch are driving the Asian manufacturers insane trying to come up with a device better than apple's without getting sued infringing on their hundred's of patents.]]>Feb 4th 2009 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/

I will never own locked 2MP camera rubbish like the iphone being locked into a contract and software.]]>Feb 4th 2009 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/Feb 4th 2009 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/
First, it's not using Real Player for video, it's using CorePlayer, which is IMHO the best mobile player on the market. Wide range of codec support, from FLV and mp4 to DivX and MKV. 720x480 videos play back well on a device that has at least a 400MHz proc. When HTC started bundling Opera Mobile 9.5 with their phones, I was hoping that the same thing would happen with Core.

I use it every day to listen to and view video on my phone.

The version of IE on the phone is 6on6, which has full html browsing, including decent Flash playback (640x360 FLVs from blip.tv play back at 6-10 fps on a 400MHz HTC Touch, and about 9-12 on a 523MHz Diamond). Not as good as Skyfire, but better than Opera's beta support. Opera still has a better user interface, but I'm basing that on a beta build of 6on6 so I don't know how the released version compares.

Not a huge fan of the form factor or the skin though, it's even bigger than the iPhone, which is too big for my tastes.

That said, I'm looking forward to the Pre as well. :)]]>Feb 4th 2009 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/Are you kidding? Most of their FLIP(!) phones have better features than the iPhone.]]>Feb 4th 2009 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/


Because Apple is an AMERICAN company that turns out the best products on the market. You can't name a better phone than the iphone - and even if you did - I am certain it isn't as popular and it doesn't do as much - or isn't as flexible as iPhone is with new software.

You can't name a better DAP convergence PDA than Touch.

If I was Apple, I'd sue everyone infringing on my IP too. ]]>Feb 4th 2009 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/Feb 4th 2009 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/
example: HTC touch HD? with 5 megapixel camera and omg... a replaceable battery? that unbelievable!]]>Feb 4th 2009 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/A better phone than the iPhone, WTF:
HTC Touch HD!

I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic.

It does more, and is way more flexible, supporting way more applications out of the box
Are you FKM?

2) apple is just as bad in terms of patent trolling as those unheard of companies in texas and cali that always sue companies like sony, MS and nintendo for patent infringement on their gaming devices. Apple honestly patents things that are not at all revolutionary, hoping that people will infringe on them to make money. I can understand patenting a UI or some of its trademark features, but how the hell can they be getting on palms case for using...what amounts to desktop icons? shoot, why limit it to the cell phone arena. they better file suit against MS/Linux for using desktop icons too. Any sony and nintendo for their gaming systems.
3) "You can't name a better phone than the iphone - and even if you did - I am certain it isn't as popular and it doesn't do as much - or isn't as flexible as iPhone is with new software."
do i even need to critique this? Does anyone remember Handiman from in living color? it isn't much of a shocker that MANY people called the iphone a crippled device. flexible? ehh...moving on
4) "If I was Apple, I'd sue everyone infringing on my IP too. "
gah'd its good that you're just a fanboi, and not a chief exec w/ them....]]>Feb 4th 2009 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/Feb 4th 2009 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/Feb 4th 2009 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/Feb 4th 2009 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/Feb 4th 2009 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/Feb 4th 2009 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/Feb 5th 2009 2:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/Feb 4th 2009 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/Feb 4th 2009 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/Feb 4th 2009 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/
What is quite cool is that each panel also slides in the vertical axis to expose more shortcuts, and it looks like the links are not just limited to programs but also media files and webpages which appear as thumbnails. So it looks like it is more than a launcher.

As for the colours, well I guess they have to be fairly bright to enable differentiation between panels. Hopefully Tosh will allow slightly less garish options. If you really hate it you can always turn it off and put on some other interface. This is Windows Mobile after all, so the option is at least there.]]>Feb 4th 2009 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/Feb 4th 2009 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/Feb 4th 2009 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/Feb 4th 2009 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/

I love the N810 to death but:
1) Its not a phone and I have carrying 2 gadgets with me.
2) Its kinda slow when surfing the web. When you're scrolling up and down, it had problems keeping up.
I guess the TG01 solves these 2 problems.

The size is not a factor for me.
I love the 4" screen for the web and photo viewing.
Looking at the TG01, I don't think they can trim much it except the sides.
Can't really trim the bottom and at the top, the extra room is needed for the camera on the back.]]>Feb 4th 2009 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/

I agree completely! I would also add Blackerry and the upcoming Palm Pre to the "good" list, along with the iPhone and Android. Honestly, I have unfortunately never used Android but I have seen videos and it looks amazing. And for those claiming WinMo is the only OS that can do work, ever heard of Blackberry. It's the ultimate work machine with a UI miles better than WinMo. I personally got the iPhone because I loved the App Store and the design. And to the person who said that there isn't enough apps for the iPhone, is 10,000+ not enough for you?]]>Feb 4th 2009 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/Feb 4th 2009 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/Feb 4th 2009 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/toshibas-tg01-makes-official-video-debut/Feb 4th 2009 7:20PM
