Leak Reveals Toshiba Tegra 2, Android 2.2 Tablet
Details of Toshiba's tablet offering have been leaked, revealing an Android tablet running Tegra 2.
We hear a lot about plans for tablets from various different companies, but it's rare we hear anything solid. Samsung is set to officially reveal its Galaxy Tab on September 2, but it seems the company has been upstaged by a leak relating to Toshiba's Android tablet.
The folks over at NotebookItalia did a little bit of investigating and managed to come up with the name for the device: The Folio 100. Aside from a name, we also know that the device will run Android 2.2 on Nvidia's Tegra 2 chipset, as well as a handful of other specifications.
NotebookItalia says Toshiba has this device characterised as a 'smartpad,' which we guess makes sense in that it's essentially a smartphone in tablet form. The Folio 100 will pack a 10.1-inch, 1024 x 600, multitouch display; Tegra 2; 16 GB of internal memory, with up to 32 GB via SD storage; HDMI, USB 2.0 standard, USB 2.0 and mini audio jack; up to seven hours of battery with mixed use (web and media playback); a 1.3-megapixel camera; and of course, Android 2.2, aka 'Froyo'. The whole thing weighs in at 760g, or 1.67 pounds.
No word on price or launch, unfortunately. Hopefully Samsung can give us a solid price and date for its Galaxy Tab on Thursday so we can finally look forward to getting an Android tablet on the market.

I once heard that if you took a water bottle and slapped a apple sticker on it, then idiots will buy it for 20 bucks.
2GB of RAM, 1- 1.5ghz processor, HDMI output, 1080P screen (this has been available in 15 inch for at least three years on IBM and Sony notebooks), 5MPix camera, 3g and WIFI/N SD and USB slot, and 9 to 11 inch form factor. Wake me up when that happens so it can blow the freakin doors off of the IPad.
I hate that resolution. I have a netbook, and it makes an incredible amount of applications and web sites near useless. Interestingly enough, it even makes many operating systems irritating to deal with (Windows 7, Windows XP, Ubuntu, and KDE in my experience) as well.
I would very much use a tablet for taking notes and drawing if one came out that I liked the capabilities of. For a 'casual web browsing experience'? Nah, not really. But one I could use a decent stylus with for sketching and jotting notes down in class? For the right price (heh), in an instant!
