[Deal Alert] Toshiba Thrive 16GB For $405 With $75 Off Coupon From Digital Etc.

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, News, Thrive / Regza / Antares / AT100

A few days ago we told you about a deal where you could get the Toshiba Thrive 8GB for $380, but if 8GB just isn't enough storage for you, then you should head over to Digital Etc. where you can get the Thrive 16GB for $405 after using coupon code THRIVE405.

Considering this is a dealer that we've never heard of before, we did a bit of research to make sure everything is kosher. According to Reseller Ratings, Digital Distributors has a pretty good rating, so we trust that it's a legit company and feel comfortable recommending this deal.

Toshiba Thrive Honeycomb Tablet Re-Review: Let's Try This Again

Posted by David Ruddock in Honeycomb 3.0/3.1/3.2, Reviews, Tablet Reviews, Thrive / Regza / Antares / AT100, Toshiba, Videos

Last Updated: February 8th, 2012

After much debate, several upset comments, and a number of good points made - I've decided to rewrite the review of the Toshiba Thrive. Admittedly, the first review lacked the kind of thorough objectivity we usually try to achieve when we look at new hardware, and it's not fair to readers to make a jump to the conclusion without a complete analysis first. I apologize.

The Toshiba Thrive has been a darling of the Android community since it was unveiled way back in January at CES in Las Vegas, when it was still just the young, nameless "Toshiba Tablet." Fast-forward 7 months, it's July, and the Thrive is finally here - but has it matured well?

Toshiba Thrive Officially Gets Priced - Starts At $429, Ships Early Next Month

Posted by Jaroslav Stekl in News, Thrive / Regza / Antares / AT100, Toshiba

Last Updated: June 4th, 2011

A slimster the Toshiba Thrive is not, but it's sure going to be more affordable than its competition when it goes on sale next month.

Toshiba executives Jeff Barney and Phil Osaka today confirmed that customers will be able to pre-order the dual-core Honeycomb tablet starting next week, though the parcel won't arrive until early July. The tablet, which we last saw at CES, will start at $429 for the 8GB version, while $479 will get you double the storage, and for $579, you'll be able to get your hands on the version with 32 gee-bees. All in all, very competitive pricing.

ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Goes On Sale April 26th For $399/$499 - Hear That, Motorola?

Posted by Jaroslav Stekl in ASUS, Eee Pad Transformer, News

Looks like at least one company got the MeMO (pun intended) on tablet pricing - ASUS just announced that the Eee Pad Transformer will start at a mere $399. Now, that'll buy you a 16GB model; if you want to step the gigabyte count up to 32, you'll have to shell out an additional $100, raising the price to $499. Still, even when you take into account the fact that the $149 keyboard dock isn't included, that's not a bad deal at all - in fact, both prices shave a benjamin off what Apple will charge for an equivalent iPad 2.

Newegg Exposes 3 Variants Of The Dual-Core 10.1" Toshiba Tablet, Starting At $450 - "Antares" Name Still A Possibility

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in News, Thrive / Regza / Antares / AT100, Toshiba

The unnamed dual-core 10.1-inch Toshiba Android tablet that we got to play with at CES this year has oddly remained anonymous for an extraordinary amount of time - in fact, we still don't really know what its final name will be. An earlier rumor suggested it could be called "Antares," and today's freshly discovered Newegg pages curiously neither confirm nor deny that name, simply listing its 3 variants as ANT-100, ANT-102, and ANT-104. Could ANT be short for Antares? Sure. Could they both be just internal codenames? Just as well.

Besides the model numbers, Newegg let us in on the pricing structure for the 3 models:

the 8GB ANT-100 will go for $450
the 16GB ANT-102 for $500, and
the 32GB ANT-104 for $580

All tablet variants are equipped with Wi-Fi and aren't tied to a specific cellular provider, providing a few sweet spots for those who don't need the full 32GB of memory (I'm having trouble seeing the XOOM selling well after this at all at $600).

Super LCD-Packing Samsung Galaxy SL Official, Could Replace GT-i9000 In Some Regions

Posted by Jaroslav Stekl in Galaxy SL, News, Samsung

I must admit that I was very skeptical of this morning's Samsung GT-i9003 rumors, simply because they involved a Galaxy S successor with a Super LCD display. This seemed suspicious to me because Samsung has spent a lot of time hyping up Super AMOLED, but it turns out the rumors are true - the Galaxy SL, or the i9003, is now official.

Besides the addition of the aforementioned Super Clear LCD screen, the SL differentiates itself with a 1GHz TI OMAP 3630 CPU; the original Galaxy S devices were powered by a 1GHz Cortex A8 "Hummingbird" processor. The phone will also ship with Android 2.2, 16 GB of internal storage, and a 1650 mAh battery (the GT-i9000 had a 1500 mAh unit) - all in a 9.9mm frame (the i9000's thickness was 10.59mm).

Upgrade Your Android Phone's External Storage With A-Data Turbo 16GB Class 6 MicroSD Card - Review And Benchmarks

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Devices By Manufacturer, Other Reviews, Reviews, Tips & Tutorials

Last Updated: July 24th, 2011

As I recently started downloading and listening to lots of podcasts, I found that my Hero's 2GB MicroSD card filled up literally overnight.

2GB is such a measly number that disgracing the Hero with it any longer was a blow to both mine and its pride, so I headed over to Amazon to find a new faster, higher capacity storage card.

After careful deliberation and weighing all pros and cons, I ended up picking the A-Data Turbo 16GB Class 6 MicroSD card.
