Toshiba to release its Windows 7 tablet in the second half of the year

Well, Toshiba’s 7-inch Folio 100 seemed to be a big flop in their lineup, no thanks to the awful Android that it uses and that lousy screen. However, Toshiba is not giving up, as they still have another unnamed 10-inch Honeycomb tablet, and another Windows 7 slate. Apparently, these tablets won’t be hitting the market until the second half of 2011.
The model Toshiba had on display was behind glass and wasn’t actually powered on, but it’s confirmed to have an 11.6-inch display and will be powered by Intel’s Atom Oak Trail processor. That’s all we were able to get out of the company, but apparently that very tablet was on display at CES, and Notebook Italia gathered there that it will have 64GB of storage and 2GB of RAM.
So, what’s the hold up on the slate? According to Toshiba’s Marco Perino, the company’s putting a bit of “Toshiba flavour” on top of the OS to make it more touch-friendly. He also said that it may not come to all parts of the world as different regions will determine the local demand. Now that’s not very pleasing.
Regarding it’s time of launch and specification, it’s no surprise if many will skip this in place for the next iPad, or the many Tegra 2 tablets that have been unveiled. Good luck there Toshiba.
