Toshiba+Spb Software = ???

Posted by: dgoldring on Jun 24 2008

What do you get when you cross a Toshiba Windows Mobile Professional phone with preloaded Spb software?  Well, according to the picture on top, it is an iPhone killin’ machine.  Well, I actually have no idea whether it will have any effect on the iPhone market or not.  But, the new Toshiba Portege G810 is one heck of a slick looking phone.  In addition to all of your Windows Mobile favorites, it also comes preloaded with special versions of some of your favorite Spb software, including:

• Spb Mobile Shell-based Toshiba Touch Interface
• a customized version of Spb Full Screen Keyboard
• the Spb Pocket Plus smart scrolling component
• and many other Windows Mobile customization enhancements.

I don’t know whether this phone will be an iPhone killer, but one thing is for sure, this is NOT your father’s Windows Mobile phone.  When I look at this, the Samsung Omnia, the Sony Xperia, and the new HTC Touch phones, I am really impressed by the creativity that has gone into the interfaces.  I have no idea what the future hold for Windows Mobile, but I think we might have some fun finding out if this latest round of phones has anything to say about it.

For all of the details on this latest slick rendition of a Windows Mobile phone, check it out on Toshiba’s website.  Then head over to Spb’s website to learn more about the special customized software that comes preloaded on the phone.
