Toshiba will take the wraps off its new smartphone, the TG01, later this month, according to Wired.com.

The TG01 is expected to be available overseas. What's cool about the device is its touch-screen stripe-column interface that folds around like a paper folding fan.

And to answer or end your call, just give the phone a little shake. Check out the YouTube video demonstration from the U.K. publication Mobile Computer magazine.
