Berlin annual consumer electronics show can boast of one more launch and again we have to speak about tablets. Toshiba is determined to join the crowd of tablet manufacturers and get its own piece of a juicy pie with huge sales volumes and high revenues as the result.
Folio 100, presented by Toshiba bears quite little uniqueness and promises to become one of many reliable Android tablets if the company manages to meet the deadlines and follow a reasonable price policy. The device sports a slightly bigger display (10.1 inches) than that of the iPad with a resolution of 1024 x 600 and enjoys a range of technical advantages:
– Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor;
– 16GB of memory;
– Bluetooth 2.1;
– HDMI-output;
– SD memory card slot;
– two USB ports;
– 802.11b/g/n wireless;
– 3G mobile data connectivity.
The tablet weighs just 760 grams and delivers about 7 hours of sheer joy when surfing the Net, playing a video or indulging in some other kind of dolce far niente. The tablet runs the Android OS which means that Android developers will have lots of projects in the near future not just developing new apps but also making necessary adjustments to the old ones, tweaking them to fit the new display size characteristics.
The tablet like its Galaxy counterpart from Samsung is targeting European and Asian markets first later going to address the American one. The chosen strategy is quite reasonable taking into consideration the fact that the iPad doesn’t yet have the same spreading on the Old Continent as it can boast of in the New World. The strategy seems reasonable but whether it is going to pay back we need just to wait for the tablets to come to the market.
Every month AdMob’s Mobile Metrics Report, familiar to all fanboys of mobile market and those who have to search any slightest changes there as part of their working responsibilities, publishes the results of the mobile OS market share review. And everytime the report arouses lot’s of conjectures and suppositions. This month it was no difference.
