The Toshiba Thrive may be not be one of the most revolutionary tablets to hit the marketplace this year but it is certainly one of the newest. While display models have been on store shelves for quite some time, the official retail release date for Toshiba’s little Android-powered tablet wasn’t until yesterday (July 10th). In addition to having some sleek and useful styling, the tablet is also extremely function with full-sized ports for those of us who really don’t like having micro USB and HDMI cords that only fit one digital accessory. So what do you get for your $480 when you go to your local Best Buy store?
The Toshiba Thrive is a 10.1 inch tablet that offer ultra-high resolution so you can enjoy all the best the web has to offer and videos in crystal clarity. One of the cool little features that make this Toshiba model interesting is the adaptive display. The tablet will actually sense the ambient light in your surroundings while you’re using it and adjust the screen brightness to fit the situation. While I have yet to see this in action to see if it works as promised, it’s an interesting concept at least.
