Toshiba Excite 10 initial walkthrough
You want thin, yet fully featured? Then, you will need to look at the Toshiba Excite 10 the. It is decent, but do not breath specifications - OMAP 4430 dual-core 1.2 GHz, 1 GB of DDR2 RAM, screen 10.1-inch 1280 x 800, Android 4.0 IPS and all ports and connectors you ' d want to same. The screen on the Excite is quite pleasant. I noticed that great view angles and it ' really nice ad of bright s. Launch in a magnesium with an impression of modern texture and it ' s survey a nice piece of gear.
But all that seems trivial when you go account how oh-my-God thin it is. 7.7 mm to be exact, or one tenth of a millimeter thinner than the a HTC S. It ' amazing s. In fact, when you first take it until do you a double-take, simply because it is so thin and light (535 grams). He ' s beyond impressive.
I ' m put it to the test. Use the heck of a tablet, even if the longest time I did ' t think that I would. If it can be broken, I will break. If it can be crushed, I will be it crash. If it performs much, I'd like it. Keep an eye for a full review, but I wanted that everybody to have a quick look on the new sexy. Hit the break for a video and photos.

Practice with the Excite Toshiba tablets
Toshiba has been here in New York this evening showing some of its finest new technology, including its next line Excite of the tablets. Although we have already had a look at tablets this year ' s Mobile World Congress, it ' s always fun for us to return to the upcoming devices. The three models were on hand this evening - the 7.7 inches, 10 inches and the giant 13.3 inches. All three are packing a Tegra 3 processor under the hood, and all will be delivered with Ice Cream Sandwich. They also share a 5 megapixel rear camera, a coating before 2 megapixel, a Gorilla Glass coating and a remarkably thin and slender profile.
The screens differ in size and resolution - model 7.7 inches ' s received the highest ppi of 196 because its AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1280 x 800, while the 10-incher has a ppi 149 slightly low with identical resolution (LED, not AMOLED technology on it). The 13.3-inch (did we mention this is what size?) uses "Autobrite LED" technology that ups the resolution of 1600 x 900, which translates 138 ppi. Not much bad to say about the poster; While they were not the best in the biz, they ' re bright, crisp and surprisingly dynamic.
I love the Excite 7.7 inches - he ' s display to beat, and the footprint is perfect. Use with one hand or both; In any event, it ' go s to fit comfortably. The 10 inch is nothing to write home about (I ' ve view of many in my day), leaving the model of 13.3 inches, the star of the series. He ' s big and beautiful, though the size and weight can disable some. 2.2 Books, this certainly isn't a ' go t in your pocket. Toshiba described as a bridge between the Tablet and laptop computers, a description that ' s pretty darn accurate. There ' ll be perfect for watching films and television, but if you ' re used to do things with a hand on your shelf, this is not the device for you.
The 10-inch model will launch on May 6: 16 GB will cost you $449.99, while that 32 and 64 GB will set you back $529.99 and $649.99 respectively. You ' ll had to wait until June 10 for models 7.7 and 13.3 inch: the will of the smaller cost $499.99 and $579.00 for 16 and 32 GB, more will cost $649.99 and $749.99 for the same size. Hit the break for some comparison shots.

Toshiba Excite x10 unveils World’s Thinnest Tablet
Announced as the Regza AT700 in October 2011, the Toshiba Excite x10 which only measures 7.7-mm thick is now the world’s thinnest tablet. It is thinner than the ASUS Transformer Prime by 0.6 mm. Not only that, the tablet is also light at 535 grams beating up the 601-gram Apple iPad 2.
The 10-inch (1280 x 800 resolution) Excite x10’s display is shielded by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass. The back cover of the tablet is outfitted with brushed magnesium alloy, making the tablet both damage resistant and elegant.
The Excite x10 is powered by a 1.2 GHz dual-core TI OMAP 4420 processor and it will run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS. It is also equipped with a 2 Megapixels front-facing camera and a bigger 5 Megapixel rear camera.
Toshiba is known to equip their tablets with a multitude of ports and to keep the tradition alive, the Excite x10 is outfitted with a micro-USB, micro-SD, and HDMI ports. I am really impressed and surprised how they fit those ports considering the tablet is very thin. Well, of course they are not standard-sized, but it is much better compared to nothing at all.
Some may think that the price should be lower as the tablet goes thinner, but that is not the case here. The 16 GB Toshiba Excite x10 will have a selling price of $529 and $599 for the 32 GB model.
What do you think? Are you Excited for the Excite?
