I spent a bit of time playing with this unit today. Spec wise it's about the same as the other Honeycomb devices out there with Tegra 2 chip, 16GB RAM, 5MP rear camer and 2 MP front camera.
But what intrigued me over the other models was
- full size SD card slot
- full size USB
- full size HDMI (and mini)
- user replaceable battery.
It's a bit thicker than an iPad but it has the removable battery of course and a docking port. Also the back has a nice dimpled(?) surface that makes it easier to hold and removes the fears of finger prints.
I was told RRP for 16GB would be $799 (not sure if that includes GST) which makes it price competitive.
No sign of a 3G model yet but the Toshiba reps I spoke to who used it said they just added data to their cellphone plans and tethered the device with their phones over wifi.
As an aside and slightly OT, I also played a bit the HP WebOS device. It works fine but it's hard to see why one would buy one of those with their very small ecosystem.
