(Adobe) Flash-y Toshiba tablet teaser site mocks the iPad

Toshiba's yet unnamed Android tablet has a new teaser site. The site shows off the tablet's features, confirms a few things, but at the same time, in its Flashiness, mocks the iPad as well.

If you use an iOS device to access the site (TheToshibaTablet.com), the site detects it and tells you that you can't watch the video, because it's Flash. It says:
“Such a shame. Add this to the list of interesting places on the Internet you can’t see on your device. Of course, if you had a Toshiba Tablet, you would enjoy the entire Internet. Yep, Flash sites too.”
The specs on the Toshiba tablet are:
  • 10.1" display
  • Tegra 2 dual-core processor
  • Android 3.0 Honeycomb
  • 2MP front facing camera
  • Stereo Speakers
  • Landscape mode dock
  • HDMI out
  • USB 2.0 port
  • MiniUSB port
  • Headphone and microphone jacks
  • User-replaceable battery
  • Combined volume, screen orientation, and power buttons
  • Full-size SD card slot
The Toshiba tablet (come on; name it already) will face plenty of competition when it emerges. Not just other Android tablets like the Motorola Xoom, but the iPad 2, RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook, and perhaps even a webOS tablet.

Apple is pretty sure who will win, but after the way Android took on the iPhone in smartphones, that battle is far from certain.
