Toshiba TG01 GUI, video playback demoed on film

We just saw Toshiba’s newest, Snapdragon boasting, offering — the TG01 — bust onto the scene, and now we’re catching some demo action, too. We’re not really expecting to get any alone time with the device until it’s unveiled at MWC in Barcelona, so Slashgear’s impressions will have to do for now. They seem pretty satisfied overall with the GUI, are “not convinced” about the device’s resistive touchscreen’s (and lack of buttons) potential for gaming, but the 1GHz CPU and 800 x 400 display seem to impress.

Video: coder whips up working multitouch demonstration on T-Mobile G1

Ryan Gardner did wonders when he proved that multitouch was a real possibility on the G1, and now Sir Luke Hutch has taken things one giant leap further. Put simply (or as simply as possible), he has figured out a way to demonstrate full working multitouch on a stock T-Mobile G1, and he even provides the video to prove it and a list of instructions for developers to follow suit. For those just casually interested, the vid after the break is apt to be enough to get your saliva flowing, but for the hardcore data snoopers in the crowd, the incredibly lengthy read link is where it’s at. Go where you must — it’s like a choose-your-own-adventure book, but for nerds.
