Leaked Toshiba K01, K02 and L01 Ultraportables Love Folding and Fuel Cells

Techblog.gr claims to have just leaked Toshiba's mobile product line for the next year, and there are threeproducts we found especially exciting—a 7-inch netbookish transformer and a series of touchscreen QWERTY cellphones.

The Toshiba K01 is a 4.1-inch capacitive touchscreen QWERTY slider. It features a 1GHz processor, 3.2MP camera and WM 6.5. The K02 is a clamshell version of the chipset, but it features a 3.5-inch touchscreen with QWERTY on the inside and a 10-button pad with a secondary LCD on the outside.

Toshiba's most exciting plan, however, is the HTC Advantage-like L01. Featuring a 7-inch screen and wireless QWERTY. It would make a heck of a netbook...if the platform weren't built on Windows Mobile 6.5. Engadget points out that when they spotted an L01 prototype earlier in the year, it was loaded with a fuel cell. Interesting...

All devices are planned to come out near the end of 2009 in some market or other. [Techblog via Engadget]
