Filed under: Handsets , NTT DoCoMo , Toshiba Looking for a way to further push the Snapdragon processor while constrained with a 4.1-inch screen, the Japanese-based Usuda Research Institute and Systems Corp has tacked on a MEMS motion sensor to Toshiba’s T-01A , also known as the TG01 , for motion-based navigation around what it’s touting is a 2,000-inch picture. According to Nikkei, this ” MotionPlus ” like adapter has been shown to work alongside the camera, potentially paving the way for some AR application like we’ve seen with Tegra . It’s hard to tell from the videos just how accurate it is, but we’d love to see this go official — after a few cosmetic improvements, of course. Check out footage of the dongle in action after the break.

July 21st, 2009 jedwan Filed under: Handsets , Windows Mobile , EV-DO , CDMA , Toshiba The Snapdragon -powered Toshiba TG01 is a beast of a phone — as Windows Mobile-powered phones go, anyway — but for Americans, there’s one small problem: it’s not clear how, when, or if it’s getting here. We still don’t have many answers there, but we’ve got one piece of very encouraging news in the FCC approval of a CDMA flavor today, bearing all the hardware you’ll need to use the phone on a carrier like… oh, you know, Sprint or Verizon. Even better, the test documents list the device as “production” — many FCC filings use prototype hardware — suggesting that this is pretty close to being ready for market. So, as we said, Sprint or Verizon have to be ramping up for this — but which one is it? Both?

July 19th, 2009 jedwan Filed under: Handsets , O2 , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , Toshiba Well, that was snappy. Just days after O2 Germany abruptly halted the sales of Toshiba’s 1GHz TG01 smartphone due to an unexplained virus outbreak among new units, it seems as if things are back in gear. Online, anyway. As of this moment, web shoppers can order the Snapdragon / WinMo-powered from the carrier once more, though there’s no word on if retail shops are still keeping their stock in quarantine. Either way, we’d don a mask before waltzing in to inquire. [Thanks, Fab] Toshiba’s potent TG01 back on sale through O2 Germany originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Sat, 18 Jul 2009 23:48:00 EST.

July 15th, 2009 jedwan Filed under: Handsets , O2 , Windows Mobile , Toshiba It’s bad enough picking up a virus because you’ve made an uncharacteristic (to you at least) illegal software acquisition , but bringing one home when you’re just minding your own business, trying to enjoy your legitimate and hard-earned purchase, is totally uncool. Case in point: according to Inside-Handy.de, a few unlucky customers of O2 in Germany have purchased the TG01 handset only to discover a virus present on the device. While Toshiba tries to determine the impact and the cause of the infection, O2 has halted sales of the smartphone, though there’s no word on when sales will resume nor if this infection has spread to other European nations.
