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 […]
Last year, Toshiba introduced the Excite line at IFA. This year, however, I’m not finding much chatter. The company introduced a personal storage device called the STOR.E CLOUD that looks kind-of sort-of interesting. Is the general consumer really building personal clouds though? This is a device that appeals to me, but I don’t see a […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Lots of drips and drabs in the world of tablets this week. RIM’s updates, Toshiba bugs, iPads sales, big news from Lenovo, and an amazing tablet deal at Staples.
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 […]
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 […]
Toshiba officially entered the world of Android this morning, opening pre-orders on their new Thrive tablet. In many ways, the Thrive is typical of Android tablets we’ve seen in recent months. 10.1″ HD display, Android 3.1 Honeycomb, NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor, front- and rear-facing cameras. But Toshiba has found a few ways to stand […]
