Is Folio 100, Toshiba’s Tegra 2-powered Android Smart Pad ?

August 29th, 2010 at 5:53 AM | Tablets

Toshiba calls its tablets Smart pads, that was pretty much clear from its product catalog. But we can’t fathom what’s Folio 100. From the scoop of Notebook Italia we were able to ascertain it indeed is Toshiba’s Tegra-2 based Tablet. But it comes with a few surprises, namely a dock peripheral and some sketchy specs viz. Android 2.2, NVIDIA Tegra 2 , a 10.1-inch 1024 x 600 screen, 16GB internal memory, 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth, 3G, SD and MMC card readers, HDMI and USB 2.0 ports, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, and a 1020mAh battery with a battery life of up to 7 hours with mixed use (browsing and video playback). Software-wise, it’s got Opera mobile browser, Flash 10.1, an e-book reader, and some office applications. Details are still scarce but seeing the recent flurry of tablets it seems a good strategy for Toshiba.
