what was wrong with the Thrive's build quality? I never handled one for more than 5 minutes but it felt pretty well built. Did they fall apart after a month?

The original Thrive got a fair share of cons and pros. Even though it made out of plastic, but the weight it puts out give people the sense of solid build. Speaker is a complete crap btw, bass completely distorted. I wouldn't consider it a top of the line tablet, just a mediocre and more practical Android tablet.

The new Thrive line up could tell a different story though.

I've been waiting for a laptop-sized tablet for a while. It's about time.

Wait I thought it had a 1600x900 display. Isn't that capable of running 1366x768(720p resolution)?

Dude. I'm totally down for that Excite 13. Huge screen, 4 speakers, full sd card slot and full size USB? Sounds like productivity heaven! My only question is should I sell my Galaxy Tab 10.1 now, or later?

+1 my man!

720p is 1280x720 pixel resolution. The Toshiba Exite 13 has a 1600x900 pixels resolution. That is better than 720p HD. A 52" 720p HD screen only looks good from about 10 feet or further. Any closer & the pixilation will be there because of the sheer size of the 52” of screen. On a 13" screen 1600x900 will look sweet & not pixilated.

The new iPad's sales are slowing down because the average customer can't see the difference in the new iPad's resolution of 2048x1536 V.S. the iPad 2's 1024x768 pixel resolution. People will pay for the less expensive iPad 2 because they can tell the difference.

The Toshiba 13" tablet is going to be sweet I think! The size is going to set it apart!
