[Deal Alert] Toshiba Thrive 16GB For $330 From eBay Daily Deals

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

With quad-core devices on the horizon, the current crop of Honeycomb-powered tablets may seem like old hat -- unless you can score one for a reasonable price, that is. Thus is the case for the Toshiba Thrive, which landed itself a place on eBay's Daily Deals site today. For a modest $330 you can grab the Thrive and its ports-o-plenty, along with 16GB of storage, a 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor, 1GB of RAM, and Android 3.1.

This is by far the best price that we've seen on the Thrive -- no less than $75 cheaper than the previously posted deal.

Toshiba Set To Release 7" Thrive Variant In December, Promises To Be "A Seven Inch Tablet Done Right"

Posted by Liam Spradlin in News, Tablets, Thrive / Regza / Antares / AT100, Toshiba

Toshiba announced Tuesday their upcoming Thrive 7, a smaller variant of the original Thrive tablet. Carl Pinto, Vice President of product development has dubbed it "a seven inch tablet done right," touting an HD display, an "incredibly portable" design, and a weight coming in under a pound.

The Thrive 7 includes all the ports users have come to expect, including Mini USB, Micro HDMI, and a Micro SD card slot. The new Thrive also carries many of the same specs as its big brother, including:

1280x800 AutoBrite multi-touch display
Toshiba's Adaptive Display and Resolution+ video enhancement
Stereo speakers
Nvidia Tegra 2 processor at 1GHz
5MP rear shooter and 2MP front shooter
16GB or 32GB internal memory, expandable with microSD card slot

The Thrive 7 still sounds a bit hefty, however, measuring .47" thick, but it also features Toshiba's Easy Grip finish, making it easy to keep a hold of.

First Photos Surface: Toshiba's Beautiful New Excite Tablet

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Excite 10 LE (AT200 / AT205), News

Remember a couple of days ago when we reported that Toshiba may be unveiling a slim new tablet at IFA to compete with the Galaxy Tab 10.1? It turns out the rumor was true, and Notebook Italia has released the first live photos of what we suspect will be called the Toshiba Excite.

Despite the iffy appearance of the various ports shown in the initial renders, Notebook Italia confirms that the tablet has microSD, microUSB, and mini HDMI ports. Rumor has it that this beauty is also packing a 1.5GHz dual-core processor (the OMAP4460 from Texas Instruments, to be exact).

We'll be keeping you updated as Toshiba releases more information at IFA Berlin.

[Exclusive] Toshiba's Sexy New Tablet To Be Called The Excite

Posted by Aaron Gingrich in Excite 10 LE (AT200 / AT205), Exclusives, News, Rumors, Tablets, Toshiba

Last Updated: June 5th, 2012

Back in April, before Toshiba had officially revealed the name of its upcoming tablet, one Babyfacemagee did some serious detective work to figure out that it would be called the Thrive - and ended up being dead-on. Fast-forward a few months, and we're hearing rumors of a new, slimmer, sexier Galaxy Tab-fighter from Toshiba.

While we've yet to hear (or see) anything official from the company, Babyfacemagee seems to have come through with the name once again. This time around, it seems that the tablet will (quite fittingly) be dubbed the Excite.

So, what do we have by way of proof?

[Rumor] Toshiba's Upcoming Galaxy Tab 10.1 Rival Is Gorgeous, Thin, Full Of Useful Slots And Ports

Posted by Liam Spradlin in News, Rumors, Toshiba

Following the release of the Thrive in July, Toshiba is now rumored to be working on a tablet that could compete with Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 by coupling a sleek, thin design with a large screen and Android Honeycomb while adding a handful of useful ports that the Tab 10.1 lacks.

Earlier today, an Italian tech blog Notebook Italia brought to light some renders of the alleged tablet killer (their words, not ours) that show a very attractive device featuring a profile as sleek as the Galaxy Tab, but with a microUSB port, microHDMI port, and a microSD slot, along with an interesting grooved frame and a slim black bezel around the 10.1" screen.

Regardless of which variant you've been looking at, Amazon is definitely the way to go if you plan on buying any time soon -- the 8GB version is going for $370, 16GB's for $430, and the 32GB variant will set you back $500. Aside from the differences in storage, all three versions share the same innards:

10.1-inch IPS LCD display
1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 (AP20H) dual-core processor
1GB RAM
Weight: 1.7lbs
Thickness: 15mm
5MP rear camera, 2MP front
Full-size USB and HDMI-out ports, plus miniUSB port
SD card slot (with SDXC support)
Android 3.1 Honeycomb (via OTA update)

So, if the Toshiba Thrive and its gaggle of ports is the tablet for you, head over to Amazon and pick your poison.

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.
