I wouldn’t actually describe the Toshiba Thrive as one of the most anticipated tablets, but it’s good thing to see the Japanese company keeping up with the schedule to release its product during the month of July. The rumor is that Toshiba’s baby will start selling on July 10th, though we don’t have a press release to back that claim. What we do have, however, is the image above which was taken at a Best Buy store in Austin, Texas. The guy who snapped it spotted the Thrive sitting in a corner and managed to spend some time testing it out. Best Buy’s sales person claimed that more tablets are in stock and could be purchased right on the spot.
Best Buy is said to offer the 16GB version for $479.99, and there are other reports claiming that 32GB model will go for $579. Not sure I like the price, considering all other options such as the Apple iPad, Asus Transformer and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. What do you say?
