We had some time to get our hands on the Toshiba Thrive Android 3.1 tablet and this thing has a few unique hardware and software features which should make it stand out from the crowd. The company said it sees this space as an evolution in computing but that doesn’t mean that people are ready…
Toshiba has just taken the wraps off of its Android Honeycomb tablet, the Thrive. There will be three versions of the tablet when it debuts in July, starting at $429. We first saw this tablet back at CES earlier this year and we walked away very impressed. Featuring pretty much any spec you’d expect for…
While Android 3.0 Honeycomb itself still needs some polish, prices for tablets running the software may need it anymore. We could imagine that the Xoom would have shipped even more units had it been priced affordable, or even offered multiple versions from the beginning.

It’s about that time folks – the time to run down the Top 10 tablets that we’re expecting to see in 2011. Now that the flood gates on this year’s wave of high-powered tablets aimed at the heart of Apple’s iPad, we know more about what 2011 will bring us in the tablet space. We…
CES 2011 is under way and Toshiba gave us a little hands on of its coming tablet computer. Now, it isn’t the first time we’ve managed to get our hands on a Toshiba tablet, but the last one – the Folio 100 – was a total failure. This time around, with a little help from…
Apple and Toshiba are teaming up to build a $1.2 billion factory which will create Retina Display screens and other displays for Apple products. Apple is investing a portion to help build the factory and it is expected to begin producing in the second half of 2011. The plant, which will be in Ishikawa, is…
