Toshiba TG01 slowly, surely gets hacked to run Android

It's easy to forget about the TG01 nowadays, but bear in mind that
Toshiba's WinMo beast from last year was the first production phone in
the world to use Qualcomm Snapdragon silicon. Oh, and it was under
10mm thick and featured a 4.1-inch WVGA display at a time when such
specs were basically science fiction -- so you've got to give credit
where credit's due. Anyhow, the phone's far from obsolete -- apart
from that little WinMo issue, that is, so the good folks on xda-
developers have started the time-honored tradition of transplanting
Android onto it. Important stuff still isn't working (the lack of
calling capability is a big one for us, personally) but we're guessing
it's just a matter of time before we see a solid, usable build in the
wild now. HD2, watch your back!
