Toshiba will indeed debut Thrive as its first tablet for the US market. The Thrive tablet might be released by mid-July and will run on Android 3.1 Honeycomb operating system and an NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core chipset.

This 10-inch device compares favorably to ASUS Eee Pad, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and the Motorola Xoom (which I think is far-fetch to be officially released in the Philippines).

Some of the great features of Toshiba Thrive inclde haptic display for fingertip feedback and a hardware screen orientation lock button. This tablet is bundled with Toshiba’s video upscaling software, “Resolution Plus”.

Toshiba Thrive Tech Specs:

• 10.1″ display @ 1280 x 800 pixel
• Android 3.1 Honeycomb
• NVIDIA Tegra 2 Dual-core chipset
• WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1
• 8GB, 16GB, 32GB internal storage
• Full-sized USB 2.0 and HDMI out ports
• 5MP rear camera and 2MP front-facing camera

The 8GB internal storage entry-level variant will be sell at $429, 16GB with a tag price of $479, and 32GB for $579 which compare as  the both Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Apple iPad 2.
