Posted by Radu Iorga on July 11, 2011 None comments


Toshiba Thrive is one of the most awaited Honeycomb tablets in the USA, being an affordable Android 3.0 model. This unit comes in a 16GB flavor with a $480 price tag, while the 32GB model will be sold for $580. It seems that an 8GB model will also be available for an appealing $430.

However, the 8GB unit will be available in small quantities, in spite of its appeal. Well, we’re here to show you the unboxing of the Thrive model, that you can see below. This 7 inch unit is unboxed ahead of its launch and before you start the clip, know that the video is silent. You can see the device removed from packaging and a quick video of the Toshiba unit, plus content of the box.

Thrive will go on sale on July 10 and it seems to be a bit thicker than its rivals, to be honest. There’s a plus, though: its battery is replaceable, something that people have been wanting on slates for a while now.

Still waiting for Toshiba’s Honeycomb tablet dubbed Thrive? Apparently, this model was on pre-order at Best Buy last month, but without a shipping date. Now, the device has been spotted in at least one Best Buy shop, after rumors about a debut on July 10.

We are talking here about a Best Buy in Austin, Texas and a lucky guy who wondered in the store and saw the working version of Thrive in a corner. The price tag for the 16GB unit is $479.99, that’s more than Amazon is charging the tablet on pre-order. Rumors are also claiming that the slate can be found in the 32GB version priced at $579.

We remind you that this is a Honeycomb 3.1 device, with a 10.1 inch high resolution LED screen, dual cameras, an easy grip cover, an USB 2.0 port and a HDMI one.

You’ll pay $480 for the 16GB Thrive and $580 for the 32GB one. Among the retailers selling the product we find Amazon.com, Office Depot and ToshibaDirect.com.

The tablet’s maker also sells the units directly and the retailer mentioned above will take pre-orders for the device right now. Shipments will take place in July and the slate comes with Android 3.1 already installed. In case you didn’t know, Toshiba Thrive comes with Swype technology integrated into the touch keyboard, a full size USB 2.0 port and it’s one of the few models with Honeycomb 3.1 installed.

Other than that it’s just the usual 10.1 inch display, dual core Tegra 2 CPU and WiFi, so no 3G or 4G connectivity for now.

Toshiba’s Thrive is one of the upcoming Honeycomb tablets with 10.1 inch display and many interesting features. The device was recently confirmed by its maker through an announcement, that also included some very appealing specs: removable battery, Swype technology and full size USB ports.

Thrive also comes with an SD card slot, a HDMI port, a USB 2.0 port and a pretty standard set of features, that includes the latest version of Honeycomb (Android 3.1), a 10.1 inch 1280 x 800 pixel display and a dual core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor. The new Toshiba product only comes with a WiFi connection, so it lacks 3G.

The device will cost $430 in the 8GB flavor, $480 in the 16GB one and $580 for the 32GB unit. Pre-orders start on June 13 at retailers such as Amazon.com, Best Buy, Radio Shack and shipments are expected in mid July.
