Toshiba's Targets iPhone with TG01

Toshiba announced a multimedia-centric phone clearly targeted at Apple's iPhone. 

The TG01's design is similar to the iPhone, but leverages Toshiba's LCD expertise with a larger, higher-resolution screen, yet is thinner and claims much longer batter life, uses the new SnapDragon chip from Qualcomm, and Microsoft Windows Mobile 6. 

It remains to be seen if Toshiba's latest can avoid the graveyard of smartphones based on WIndows Mobile from Motorola's Q to Sony's Xperia X1, many of which looked like RIM- or Apple-killers on paper, but floundered in the marketplace.
