Toshiba announced last week that they would be unveiling what they called the
worlds thinnest tablet at CES, the device is now official and it is called the
Toshiba Excite X10.
The tablet measures just 0.3 inches thick and weighs in at 1.18 lbs, it will come with
Android 3.2 Honeycomb, it features a 10.1 inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels.
The Toshiba Excite X10 is powered by a
dual core 1.2GHz TI OMAP4430 processor, there is also 1GB of RAM, plus a rear facing 5 megapixel camera and a front facing 1.3 megapixel camera. Perhaps more surprising is the number of buttons and ports Toshiba squeezed onto this tiny frame. Like the much-thicker Thrive before it, the Excite offers a pleasing set of inputs and outputs, including micro-SD, Micro USB, Micro HDMI and, of course an audio jack.
The Excite also has a physical volume button—a welcome choice when compared to the market’s second most popular tablet: the Amazon Kindle Fire. It has just one button for power and no ports beyond the audio Jack.
It will come with a choice of 16GB or 32GB of built in storage, the 16GB version will retail for $529.99 and the 32GB version for $699.99, there are no details on an exact release date as yet.
It look pretty interesting from the photos, and certainly looks thin, although it costs around $130 more than the iPad, we wonder if people will pay the extra, especially considering all the tablet price drops we have seen recently.
