Android Honeycomb on board
Toshiba's 10.1-inch has released a media tablet with Android Honeycomb. The gear has been released in Japan under the handle “Regza AT300”.
The Regza AT300 has an Nvidia dual-core Tegra 2 chip under the bonnet and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video chatting and a 5-megapixel rear camera that takes pictures and records video. The 1280-by-800, 720p multi-touch screen features "Toshiba Adaptive Display," which adjusts the colour and brightness of the screen depending on lighting conditions.
The tablet includes USB 2.0, mini USB and SD card ports, as well as an HDMI output for watching video (1080p) on a television. Connectivity support for the 1.7-lb. Regza AT300 includes 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The toy's prismatic lithium ion battery is user replaceable, which is a nice touch.
It's set for a late June release and priced at $725. It is fairly pricey for a 16GB Wi-Fi tablet and makes the Apple16GB iPad 2 look like a good deal for $499.
Electronic gear costs a bomb in the Land of the Rising Sun so it might be a price for those used to paying $20 for a hamburger. It is not clear when the Tosh Tablet will be seen outside Japan.
fyi
The kitchen was a hot plate with 1 cast iron pan underneath the staircase.

I bet it would cost way more now with the dollar going down.

” I was in Sapporo 3 years ago and went to an American owned beer joint in the basement of a building. 3 of us, 3 burgers 6 beers $300.00 US. “
Average cost of a 633ml beer in a bar or restaurant in Japan 700 yen . 6 x 700 = 4200 yen . Even at the current exchange rate , that would come to around $ 50 . Hamburger ? I have never seen a hamburger with fries go for more than 1500 yen ( usually less ) . 1500 yen x 3 = 4500 yen , or $ 55 . $ 55 + 50 = $ 105 . If you paid $ 300 , your fellow Americans ripped you off bigtime !
One of the burgers was horsemeat, may that tipped the scales.
Your boss got ripped off bigtime by fellow Americans . No such thing as an “ entry fee “ . Table charge perhaps . At most $ 5 a person . BTW - I have lived in Japan for 25 years .
Steven Tyler......izzat you? ;-)
whatever
Just setting the record straight . Japan is an expensive place to live but not THAT expensive .
Dear Toshiba...some of us on FR have long memories
