The metallic sheen on this Newman MP3 player reminds me of the mythical mithril from the Lord of the Rings universe.

O2 will be distributing the 4.1-inch touchscreen Toshiba TG01 in Germany. This is an exclusive for O2, which will be up against T-Mobile Germany’s iPhone offering. No pricing announced yet.

It does have the function to back the form, though, running on Windows CE 5.0 (unfortunately, with only 64MB of RAM). Still, the built-in WiFi capability and support for MSN Messenger, Skype, [...]

Sure the resulting handset is clunkier than Zune original, heck it’s clunkier than this multi-featured PMP, but you haven’t seen anything like it either.
