If the massive 4.1-inch WVGA screen and Snapdragon processor behind Toshiba’s TG01 weren’t enough to rope you in, maybe Windows Mobile 6.5 will. At MWC ’09 we were hopeful that 6.5 would make the cut, and now we can see on video that at very least it’s working in the labs. The bulk of Windows Mobile 6.5′s changes are aesthetic, but there’s no reason why the TG01 shouldn’t have the latest and the greatest from its chosen platform. Europeans should keep an eye out for this one sometime over the summer.
Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement.
With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
