Toshiba Shows Off iPad Competitor
Posted in: tablet, Today's Chili, Toshiba
‘Tis the season for company-sanctioned pre-CES announcements. Toshiba today took the wraps off its upcoming tablet–the first Android Honeycomb-based tablet to be unveiled this year (keep in mind that, while Motorola has let slip some no-so-subtle hints about such a device, it has yet to actually pull back the curtain).
So, what’s Toshiba’s new tablet called? Simple. It’s called the Toshiba Tablet. Yup. Clever, right? It’s a device name that really lets the world know what it is.
Beyond the Honeycomb thing, here’s what we know about this cleverly-named tablet: it has an Nvidia Tegra dual-core processor inside, front and rear-facing cameras (2MP in the front, 5MP in the back) for video chatting, 1080p video playback, a keyboard with haptic feedback (take that, Apple), and a user replaceable battery (and that).
It also has a USB 2.0, mini USB, and SD card ports. There’s built-in 802.11n, Bluetooth, and GPS. The thing will weigh 1.7 pounds. No word on pricing yet.
The Toshiba Tablet is first of what’s sure to be countless tablets introduced at CES 2011, happening this week in Las Vegas. If only all of them could be so simply named.
