While U.S. tablet fans are focusing on the launch of the Galaxy Tab's upcoming release, European shoppers are being offered a device with a little more punch.
Toshiba's Folio 100 was announced in early September and packing Nvidia's Tegra 2, 16GB of built-in storage, SD card expansion, HDMI out, 802.11n WiFi, a 1.3 megapixel webcam and Android 2.2 (with custom Toshiba UI), it turned a lot of heads.
Today, the Folio 100 is shipping to Europe with a range of different prices. Engadget reports that Germany is getting the Folio sans 3G for €429. Those not willing to give up 3G can expect to pay €529. Italian customers are getting a slightly better deal with prices of €399 and €499, and UK buyers will be able to purchase the 3G-less model for £329 (€379).
Last we heard, the Folio 100 wouldn't be coming to the U.S. at all, but you never know, if the sales are good, Toshiba might change its mind.

Good news here, and proves my point in the comments of Kevin's article.
Thank you, Jane.
Us consumers are not that sophisticated. The crapple craze proves that that they go for shit packaged in nice casing. Regardless of the specs.
