Toshiba’s Excite 7.7 was an Android tablet designed to go head-to-head with Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 7.7. When we were handed one to review, we fell in love with its 1,280 x 800 Super AMOLED Plus display, a 1.3GHz Tegra 3 chipset and a battery life of over 10 hours. It failed, however, as so many do, with its poor cameras, choppy audio performance and a top-heavy launch price that would put off many buyers. But now, time has passed, the price has fallen and plenty of you might have made the investment. So it’s to you that we ask, how’s it going? Why not tell us what, if someone asked you, would you change?

While Toshiba might not be in the forefront of the minds of consumers when it comes to Android tablets, we’re sure that there are probably a fair share of users out there who might own one of Toshiba’s Android offerings. Now the good news is that if you own the Toshiba Excite 7.7 Android tablet, it has been reported that the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update has begun to roll out for you guys. If you don’t see the update notification yet, fret not as it is possible that it is being pushed out in stages. You could also try manually fetching it by going to your phone’s Settings menu. The update is 348MB in size so it might take a while for it to update, but considering this is Jelly Bean with Project Butter and all, we expect that Excite 7.7 users won’t mind the slight wait. If you own the Excite 7.7 and have received the update, let us know in the comments below.
