The 2012 edition of Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas USA did not disappoint. Being the biggest platform for tech companies to show-off their latest innovations, a lot of new tablets (mostly running the Android OS) were among the announced.
I have followed the news reports and one tablet that stood-out of the crowd was Toshiba’s Excite x10. It is exciting.
From PC World:
This 10.1-inch tablet distinguishes itself as the only model that can be called both the thinnest and lightest: It measures just 0.3-inches thick and weighs 1.18 pounds. It has a Texas Instruments 1.2-GHz OMAP 4430 multicore processor, 1GB of memory, and a 1280-by-800 resolution IPS display. The display looked good, with a minimal air-gap and a wide viewing angle; but text and graphics weren’t as sharp as on the higher-resolution displays. Toshiba hopes to be able to ship the tablet in the middle of the first quarter with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Toshiba says it will cost $530 for the 16GB model and $600 for the 32GB version.
Other features include:
- 0.3″ thin
- 1.2lbs
- 10.1” AutoBrite™ Multi-touch Display
- Scratch-resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass
- Powered by Android™
- Dual-core processor
- Micro HDMI® port
- Micro USB port
- Micro SD Card Slot
- Stereo Speakers
- Two HD Cameras
Be aware that the device does not support 3G nor any cellular connectivity. Instead, connectivity is via wifi only.

I had planned to make it to CES 2012 this year but my VISA is the issue.
