Toshiba jumped in the smartphone bandwagon with the new TG01 touchscreen smartphone. The unit was unveiled at the latest London event for the tech geeks!

The new TG01 smartphone has a 4.1in touchscreen and uses the same technology that the manufacturer used in Regza TVs. Talk about something that will give rivals Apple and HTC something to fear about.

The device has a full flash support which allows users to browse the web fully and watch videos from websites like YouTube which makes it better than iPhone. The TG01 measures just 9.9mm deep, and is therefore thinner compared to the iPhone and the bulky T-Mobile G1.

TG01 has built in GPS, Wi–Fi, HSDPA, a 1 GHz Qualcomm processor and the keyboard looks like a marriage of iPod Touch and iPhone keypads.

The smartphone runs on Windows Mobile. The phone will be out this summer but if you can’t get enough of this news, you can head on to Mobile World Congress in Barcelona for some real views!

One of the pioneer makers of smartphones is sweating its hands out to make its new Treo Pro mobile phone the new talk of the town.

The Tree Pro is an overhaul of the Palm smartphones released years ago. It now comes with Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 software for easier communicability within the network.

Contrary to what others might believe, the Treo Pro will not compete with Apple’s iPhone. According to Palm execs, the unit is targeting people who want to go with the conventional QWERTY keyboard.

But the road to success is still not in the horizon of the new phone. As of this writing, AT&T and T-Mobile is yet to show enthusiasm over the smartphone. T-Mobile and AT&T currently sells high-end phones from Apple, RIM, Samsung and other manufacturers. For the meantime, Palm will sell its unit on its very own website. The company is happy however that Europe is welcoming the new product.

Despite not so good reviews over the internet, there are still of course people who show interest over the smartphone. It is an already unlocked phone straight from the source, and although it have the same specifications most modern smartphones has, experts still see that its tag price is powerfully enticing.

The new Treo Pro is currently tagged at $549.
