Thank for posting the spec. I am very interested. I think this is a very serious contender. I look forward to its review. In fact, mid nov would be just in time for me to compare with my low end a81e with the folio 100. Thanks for the spec.

That tablet is pretty awesome and interesting but it still has room for improvement, and areas which a company as big as Toshiba could easily improve.
1) use materials like aluminium/high grade plastic to make it seem dignified while keeping weight low
2) trim off the excess bezel, come on!
3) Use high quality touchscreen + display so that its bearable to us under sunlight.
3) optimize the system to run at 1.5GHz on 1Gb of RAM for high performance when needed
4) optimize the UX... erm "copy the MIUI ROM"
5) optimize the battery life
6) keep the costs considerably lower than the iPad
... then I will give you a standing ovation!
Right now, its only slightly better than the best KIRF's (eLocity and Advant Vega).

Isn't this the tablet Engadget tried out at the electronics show last month and said was rather rubbish in terms of build quality, screen, responsiveness?

@kangal: Have you handled any of the tablets? I'd recommend making a cardboard analog of one, if you haven't... because I think you will find that most new tablets will come with similarly sized bezels for usability reason.
Either that or they'll come with a handle area somewhere (keyboard bottoms, whatnot).

I agree a andriod tablet is not news. Toshiba did just do something ground breaking though, it's called:
Toshiba Libretto W105.
I got one, and while it's not for the everyday user, I find it to be an extremely useful and powerful UMPC.

I am very excited about a tablet announced by Toshiba it is called the Folio 100 and it is a 10.1inch Android tablet. There are indications of early 2011 release at a price off 400-500 dollars. There will also be a 3g version available.
Some Specs
Operating System: Android 2.2
Processor: Dual core Nvidia Tegra
Storage: 16gb plus full sized SDHC card slot.
Screen: 10.1inch 1024x600 capacitive touchscreen
Connectivity: USB Host port, HDMI Out, Wifi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1
Camera: 1.3mp webcam
MeeGo is going to have to do better than the Wetab.
Also this thing can run Flash 10.1
