The Toshiba Folio 100 tablet/slate is running on the Tegra 2 platform and is one of the devices that we’re anxious to hear more about. Roland from Netbooknews got his hands on one of the models at IFA and have put up a video tour of the device that begs for more coverage. The 10.1 inch slate looks like most of what we’re seeing or expect to see from these Android Tablet/Slates, including a bevy of Toshiba apps. Every device manufacturer is compelled to do this as some from of differentiating from the others. It is running Android 2.2, and it’s the official version, so all the Android goodness comes included.
Looks like a crock. But what do you expect when the author is named Crocker. Just a joke – no offense intended.
And one that I’ve heard way too many times to take offense.
Seriously, when the reviewer noted the poor performance of the device and had to go into some type of terminal mode to look at the settings, he lost me. Like all computer types, I like an occasional peek under the hood, but this will not fly for the intended audience. The iPad’s success is clearly due to adoption by the non-computer types (including young ones and old ones). And these non-computer types, IMHO, will reject this type of performance and interface right off the bat.
