In a press event held in London this morning ahead of the Mobile World Congress, Toshiba has unveiled the first commercial device to run on Qualcomm’s long-promised Snapdragon platform intended for high-end smart devices and MIDs. The chipset found in the Toshiba TG01 is the Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD2850 which features A-GPS functionality along with a 1GHz processor and GPU from ATI integrated in one unit.
The Toshiba TG01 featureset includes quadband GSM/EDGE, single-band HSPA 7.2 high-speed access, a 4.1 inch wide touchscreen display at WVGA resolution, accelerometer for motion control and screen orientation, and a custom 3D user interface on top of Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional.
Further, the device also includes a microSDHC expansion slot, Bluetooth with stereo audio support, 3.5mm headphone jack, Wi-Fi radio, and both an autonomous GPS receiver and A-GPS support, along with a 3.1 megapixel camera with video recorder and auto-focus.
The device is expected to be available in Europe beginning in the summer, with no US release planned.

No hardware keyboard? Pass…
It would have been a winner if they had included a hardware keyboard and AT&T 3G (and a US release).
Even without a keyboard if it had 1900 and 850 UTMS it would have been able to knock the iPhone off it’s throne. whithout, it’s on an even keel.
What about the size? This thing looks HUGE. The iPhone is pretty big, but compared to the iPhone (search google for pictures), it’s massive.
