2009"s hottest new mobile technologies
Smartphones have always embraced new technology, and in 2009, three particular phones are taking mobile technology to a new high. Let's check out these game-changers.
Toshiba TG01 - unleashing the true power of Windows Mobile
We start with a phone that really gives Windows Mobile the grunt it needs to run properly: the Toshiba TG01. In terms of outstanding new technologies, what the Toshiba TG01 brings to the party isn't the 4.1 inch display (although that's noteworthy in itself), but what's inside it. The Toshiba TG01 uses a next-gen, dual-core Snapdragon processor, which runs at 1GHz, and that means the Toshiba TG01 is the most powerful phone in existence... which is good, because in terms of other features, a lot of other phones leave the Toshiba TG01 in the dust...
Sony Ericsson Idou - the camera phone, evolved
Phones such as the Sony Ericsson Idou...
It's been included on this list because of two reasons. The first has to be the huge 12 megapixel camera the Sony Ericsson Idou comes equipped with, which arguably makes it the best camera phone ever to be made (so far). The second reason is because the Sony Ericsson Idou is the first handset to have the next incarnation of Symbian Touch, the version that's going to be the Symbian Foundation OS. Imagine the power of Symbian with the sleekness of something like OS-X or the LG S-Class UI, and you get an idea of why the Sony Ericsson Idou is so hotly anticipated.
Palm Pre - the interface to end all interfaces
While we're talking interfaces, however, even the Sony Ericsson Idou [http://www.mobileshop.com/mobile-phones/sony-ericsson-idou/description.html] gets outdone by a phone that's due out soon: the outstanding Palm Pre. What it brings to the party is the most intuitive interface ever seen on a mobile phone. The Palm Pre [http://www.mobileshop.com/mobile-phones/palm-pre/description.html] has slick animations and gesture controls throughout, so that anything you want to do is just a touch or a swipe away. Make no mistake, the Toshiba TG01 [http://www.mobileshop.com/mobile-phones/toshiba-tg01/description.html] may get all the power, and Idou's got that camera, but nothing can touch the Palm Pre in terms of elegance.
