Given Toshiba's track record with Android updates, I thought I'd never get to write this post. Alas, here it is – Android 4.1.1 is officially rolling out to the Excite 7.7. At first blush, it looks like Toshiba did a good job on this one. It actually uses the new "hybrid UI" (like on the Nexus 7), which leads to a much better experience on smaller slates like the 7.7.

Just over a week ago, Aaron and I (Cameron) each received a review unit of the Excite 7.7. While I will largely be taking the reigns on this one, Aaron wanted to throw in his thoughts as well. Thus, while the bulk of the review was written exclusively by me, you'll also see his (clearly labeled) thoughts at the bottom of every section.Cameron: I have to be honest: after using the Excite 10 and coming away feeling "meh" about it, I didn't have high hopes for its little brother. However, after spending the past week with the Excite 7.7, I have been blown away time and time again. I'll just say it now: this is probably the best tablet I've ever used (for now, at least). The form factor is fantastic, the display is beyond incredible, and it's super-snappy. That's not to say it's perfect, however.Aaron: I've been playing with the 7.7 for a week now. While I'm still not quite sure why, I can definitively say that it's my favorite tablet to date. I've been trying to figure out what exactly makes it so phenomenal, and while I can explain most of what makes it my favorite, there's just something about it that puts it over the top but can't be labeled or qualified. As Cameron said, though, I can say I love the size, display, and performance.With that, let's talk details.
