The device which was shown overnight at the IFA Show in Europe has the much vaunted Nvidia Tegra 2 platform. It also delivers 7 hours of battery life. The screen has a resolution of 1,024 x 600, uses LCD technology, and is multi-touch as well. It also has a 1.3 megapixel webcam and features all the usual connectivity options including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 3G. Like Samsung’s Tab, it will run Android 2.2 but will also include a load of custom Toshiba software additions.
The device which will go on sale in Australia before Xmas is expected to sell for around $799.
Unlike the iPad, there are lots of ports including a full-sized USB 2.0 and a mini version, a 3.5mm headphone jack and an SD card reader. The whole thing weighs just 760g and measures 281 x 181 x 14 mm;
Toshiba has also announced a charging dock which also has HDMI outputs.
