Toshiba is now getting into the game with their own Android tablet. The new tablet has only a few published stats, leaked from Amazon but what little we know about it is exciting. This should be a tablet tweaked version of Android called Honeycomb armed with the Tegra 2 processor from Nvidia. The iPad and the updated Galaxy Tab 2 are almost more known for what they have left out than what they bear not so for Toshiba's entrant. Even the Xoom missed the mark in a few areas.
Toshiba brings the features that seem obvious and so shockingly absent from the other guys. A full sized USB port is open for accessory and storage options. Memory expansion is further possible with a full sized SDXC card slot. This is a great boon for those already vested in SD cards or devices that use them. Your tablet can now become a slick workstation for digital photography. Upload and review your photos on the large 10.1 screen on the go. You can see them even larger on projectors or HDTVs employing the full size HDMI connector.
There's also a mini-USB port for connection, sync and transfers (and possibly charging). While the mini-USB plug is still viable and very convenient, it does go slightly against the grain of the standardization around micro-USB. The Toshiba tablet also has a replaceable battery, hopefully with external charging options. Toshiba's choices to include the features that should have been standard on day one, should have people flocking to this tablet on it's launch day. As long as the price is remotely reasonable this is probably the most user friendly multi-role tablet announced. The only 3 things it's lacking are a decent nickname, a release date and a reasonable price tag. With any luck there will be more than one US cellular carrier left by the time of its release and not just AT&T&T.
