Reviews: Toshiba Excite 7.7 Is Pricy, But Appealing

Toshiba’s first entry into the Android tablet market, was a bit of a disappointment. A 10-inch Android 3.0 Honeycomb device, the Thrive looked like someone had seen an iPad and said “I know what this needs. Ports! And a removable battery!” Thrive made for a thick, somewhat cheap-feeling device, and it wasn’t a concept that […]

When Toshiba first announced the Thrive tablet, it was critiqued for being too large. While a slimmed down model was seen at Mobile World Congress, it looks like Toshiba is still keeping it plus sized. The 7.7″ Toshiba tablet from MWC has turned out to not be a Thrive, but an Excite, and it has […]

Toshiba Thrive 7.7 Brings Something New To The Party

Back when Toshiba first released the Toshiba Thrive we had high hopes. Sadly, reception was not as hot. Had they released it prior to the thinner, lighter iPad 2 and Samsung Galaxy 10, they might have had a shot. It looks like they thought so too because PC World has discovered the Toshiba Thrive 7.7 […]

Will Amazon Kill The iPad With Fire?

The long-awaited Amazon Tablet is here, and it was outed by Bloomberg a good five minutes before the actual event started. At just 7″, the Android-based dual core tablet lacks cameras and 3G connectivity (there’s Wi-fi though). The Fire resembles RIM’s Playbook (there’s allegedly a reason for that) and is a smart looking piece of […]

Tablet Thursday Digest: IFA Had A Million Dollars

Hey look, a tablet post that isn’t about a TouchPad — it must be Thursday. In fact, it’s also IFA, which means the device announcements are coming faster than I can keep track. Things kicked off with Sony officially branding their new tablets, with the codenamed S-1 becoming the S, and the very cool S-2 […]

Tablet Thursday News Digest

This was a pretty big week for tablets, as every company under the sun seems to be rushing to exploit the market. While it may seem like their fighting for Apple’s table scraps, there are a huge number of potential tablet users out there, and everyone seems to be trying to grab them. The most […]

Toshiba Hopes Thrive Tablet’s Name Is Prophetic

Mordechai Osdoby — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 15:47:45 +0000

I was honestly surprised to see Toshiba’s upcoming tablet, the Thrive, at Pepcom’s Digital Experience. To be honest, I’d forgotten it was announced. Now that I’ve handled it, I can’t get it out of my head. The Thrive (release date unknown) looks like a typical 10.1″ tablet. Running a mostly virgin copy of Android Honeycomb […]
