Toshiba's Folio 100, last year’s Froyo-based tablet, fared poorly with critics and users alike, and a Honeycomb offering has been awaited ever since Toshiba announced it back at CES, apart from showing off some fairly well-received Honeycomb prototypes. Now, it seems it’s not going to be too long before such a device actually hits the market, for a 10.1-inch Honeycomb tablet called the Toshiba Thrive was spotted on pre-order for short while before being hastily pulled from an online-retailer’s listings.
Priced at $449 for the 8GB version, and $579 for the 32GB version, the Toshiba Thrive is powered by the Honeycomb-prescribed dual-core 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 processor. Presumably, it will launch with 3.1 Honeycomb onboard, when it arrives in Japan sometime in the third quarter of 2011. Other listed specs 1280×800 resolution screen, auto-brightness, SD card slot, HDMI and USB ports, a 5MP rear camera, and a 2MP front-facing camera.
