A next generation of smartphones is coming
Posted on November 13th, 2009 No commentsIn the last months, we have seen that some companies have introduced their smartphones in order to compete in the mobile market, but most of those smartphones offer almost the same features with regard to hardware. Well, apparently, Toshiba is ready to make an innovative move in order to bring different and new features to the mobile industry.
With this said, the fact is that the company is introducing a series of prototypes in the Cutting-edge IT & Electronics Comprehensive Exhibition CEATEC that is taking place in Japan. In this exhibition, it is clear that Toshiba only has one thing on its mind: Power. And to demonstrate this, the company is using its new products K01, K02 and L01 as representative samples.

The first model (the K01) comes with a slider QWERTY keyboard, a 4.1-inch capacitive screen, a 1-GHz processor, and a 3.2-megapixel camera. It has a thickness of 0.60 inches and might be available for sale before the end of this year. As for the K02, it is a smartphone with a 3.5-inch resistive touchscreen in a landscape clamshell design and, as a novelty, it also has a secondary LCD display; the K02 has a very similar design to the Nintendo-DS console, but with a more elegant style.

And, lastly but not least, the Toshiba L01 is a tablet-like device with a 7-inch display and a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. In addition, the? L01 also can work as a digital photo frame. This smartphone would be available for sale at the end of the current year. Most probably they will come with Windows Mobile 6.5, but it would not be strange if later they can run Windows 7 by doing an update.
