With the Toshiba Thrive Android 3.1 tablet already launched and selling, it was about time that we saw a hands on and unboxing. This one comes from Android Community, that details the Honeycomb 3.1 slate, available at your local Best Buy store.
Priced at $429.99, $479.99 and $579.99 (8GB, 16GB or 32GB), this model packs a 10.1 inch display with 1280 x 800 pixel resolution. This screen is based on IPS LCD technology and the devices measures 15mm in thickness, while weighing 771 grams. This is quite a heavy duty tablet and a thick model, almost double the thickness of the iPad 2 and the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
It’s got a 5MP camera at the back, a 2MP one upfront and an unique feature: a removable battery. The case relies in ribbed plastic and at the front we find a glass surface and some chrome accents show where the cameras are. Strangely enough, this model feels like a portrait tablet, if we judge by the logo orientation on the back and the docking port at the bottom.
