I got to spend some time with Toshiba’s new smaller tablet offering yesterday. Here’s my initial thoughts.
Toshiba’s just announced that its 7″ AT1S0 Tablet will go on sale in Australia from the end of October for $449. No sign of a local review sample (yet), but here’s what the US thought of it back when it was the 7″ ‘Thrive’.
Toshiba’s upcoming Android tablet will be considerably thinner than its first effort, with micro SD, HDMI and USB ports a notable feature. Thin and light tablets are something of a legal quagmire at the moment, but if the leaked pictures are accurate, Toshiba might have something tasty indeed on its hands — if it can get it to market.
The iPad 2 is skinny and pretty. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is skinny and pretty. The Toshiba Thrive is… big and beautiful? It’s definitely the latter. But is it as functionally bountiful as it is bootylicious? We’ve got hands on.
