Toshiba's outed its second 1GHz processor-boasting device for the day, this one is known as the K01.
This guy is 12.9mm thick, a QWERTY slide out keyboard, and a 4.1-inch, capacitive, OLED touchscreen.
The K01 boasts a microSD slot for storage up to 32GB, and runs Windows Mobile 6.5.
There's no word on pricing or availability for this looker yet.
