Toshiba uncovers its tablet plans

Toshiba announced it's working on a 10.1" Android 3.0 "Honeycomb" tablet with a capacitive touchscreen, a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution and NVIDIA's Tegra 2 SoC. WiFi support is included but unfortunately the device has no 3G connectivity so on-the-go use will be quite limited. Outputs include USB, Mini-USB, HDMI, audio ports and an SD memory card slot.
The tablet is given enough grunt to cope with the high-resolution display thanks to the use of Nvidia's Tegra 2 system-on-chip, a design which features two ARM Cortex-A9 processing cores, as well as Nvidia's mobile graphics know-how.

In a further attempt to beat Apple at its own game, Toshiba has also confirmed a pair of cameras on the device: a 2 megapixel front-facing camera for video calling, and a 5 megapixel rear camera with autofocus for video and still capture.
