Toshiba releases 'world's thinnest' Android tablet

Sales limited to a single retailer

Agentless Backup is Not a Myth

Toshiba's 'world's thinnest, lightest' tablet, the AT200 - aka the Excite in the US - goes on sale over here next week.

The 7.7mm-thick, 10.1in 1280 x 800 tablet, announced in September 2011, runs Android 3.2 Honeycomb, on a 1.2GHz Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 processor. It has 1GB of DDR 2 memory and either 16GB or 32GB of Flash storage.

Customer Success Testimonial: Recovery is Everything

I really don't get how these tablet manufacturers keep doing things as stupid as releasing things with outdated OSes (or some other obvious flaw), limiting sales to certain retailers, and thinking they can charge nearly the same as an iPad... and then they wonder why the iPad still dominates the market.

It looks to me like they want to fail.

Not required, I'm sure their legal department have already climbed from their coffins and are just waiting for the sun to drop below the horizon.
