(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.

Toshiba announces 10.1" tablet, awaits Honeycomb

Ahead of CES, Toshiba has announced an Android-powered tablet. The device heads up what is expected to be a wave of Android tablets at CES, including the Motorola Xoom and the Vizio Via Tab.

Toshiba's 10.1-inch Android tablet, exceeding the 10-inch requirement set down by Steve Jobs, so it cannot be called DOA (strangely, as we've pointed out, the iPad actually has a 9.7-inch display), is still unnamed. It will weight 1.7-pound and be 0.6-inches thick.

It will be powered by NVIDIA's dual-core Tegra 2, sport a 1280 x 800 capacitive display, and carry an accelerometer and ambient light sensor to use with Toshiba's Adaptive Display technology.

The device will also ship with a 5MP rear-facing camera and a 2MP front-facing camera. It will also have the requisite SD and mini-USB slots, but in addition, HDMI and full-sized USB, as well.

The hold-up to the tablet is that it awaits Android 3.0 (Honeycomb). Toshiba states that the tablet will be released in the first half of 2011, and that is probably doable with Motorola also chomping at the bit for the breakfast cereal-named Android release.
