Toshiba Officially Launches Excite Series of Android Tablets; 7.7", 10" & 13" Sizes

[dgstorm]

We have some news from Toshiba this morning. The company officially launched their new Excite line of Android Tablets. Toshiba has taken things to a new level with the Excite, by heavily stepping up the specs, reducing the size and weight, and adding a unique new size category, the monstrous 13-inch tablet! For reference, there are several specs that all of these tablets have in common. Here is a list of all the specs that they all have, and then below that we have each individual tab with their differences:

• Fixed Back Covers with an Aluminum Surface and styling
• Dual Cameras - 2MP for the front and 5MP for the back that can handle 1080p HD video
• Tegra 3
• 1GB DDR3 Ram
• Gorilla Glass
• Stereo Speakers with SRS Surround
• WiFi
• Android 4.0/Ice Cream Sandwich - Unskinned & Stock from Google
• BioManager Utility to improve battery life

Here's a breakdown of the different specs of each individual new Toshiba Excite Tablet:

The Excite 7.7 Inch: ($499.99 for the 16GB Model & $579.99 for the 32GB Model) - Out in June

• AMOLED Display - 1280x800 This is the reason this tablet is a bit pricier than the 10-inch variety.

The Excite 10 Inch: ($449.99 for the 16GB model, $529.99 for the 32GB model and $649.99 for the 64GB model) - Out in May

The Excite 13 Inch: ($649.99 for the 32GB model and $749.99 for the 64GB model) - Out in June

i think the bolded is supposed to say 13.3-inch. not being a grammar nazi! just pointing it out since i had to read it like 4 times before i realized it was wrong.

if its not wrong that is a TINY tablet and wicked expensive.

That's quite a shame on the 7-inch tablet. The ONLY thing "generic consumers John and Mary" will see is...

7-inch Fire, Nook, and "Nexus" = $200

7-inch Excite = $500

Come on guys, for the 38th time: we should really put out our shingle and offer not only our skills as technical consultants, but in this case also as marketing consulants. I mean wow, how dumb a move is $500 (even $400...$300...)? Dumb, dumb, dumb.
