Toshiba Thrive 10 inch

The Toshiba Thrive (1,280 x 800 resolution) is available with three internal storage capacities in Wi-Fi only configurations: 8GB, 16GB and 32GB. They'll all come with a dual core 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, 2MP and 5MP front and rear cameras, Bluetooth 3.0+ connectivity, an SD memory card reader, HDMI and USB 2.0 support. A rather unique feature Toshiba is touting is the ability to swap batteries, unlike most other tablets. The back cover will also be removable and replaceable with other covers that Toshiba will sell in a variety of colors.
