Finally, I got an Android tablet for me and my family to try out and enjoy (hopefully). I’ve been reading (specs) and watching prices of these Android tablets for almost a year now. I was excited about the Xoom but after my friend got one and return the next day because it wasn’t user friendly and unfinished (consumer point of view), I didn’t want to get anything any more. So every Android tablet out there is trying to be as close as an iPad and some even try to be the same like Samsung 10.1 which doesn’t give any input\/output ports like iPad, now that’s totally a “don’t buy me or buy me then return…” move just like the Xoom (I really had high hopes for both of these Xoom and Galaxy because of their specs and they really disappointed me). These Android marketing people sometimes don’t understand that Steve Jobs changed the world by inventing great new ready to use, HIP devices. Android products can’t be as HIP as Apple’s (ask your children if they rather have ipods or other mp3 devices, iphones or Android phones, and the answer will be obvious, because even in schools – Apple dominates). To me iPad is not the best device, you can’t do much with it, but it’s nice and easy to use and the people who buy iPads and Apple don’t care, because they’re HIP<\/a>, Android people are not HIP (no offense, IMO, just a simple black turtle neck and jeans make a person HIP already?), be realistic… I’m a little off based \ud83d\ude0e hehehe. Alright, what do I want to use a tablet for since I’m not a HIP person? <\/em><\/p>\n

***2011-11-14 The 16GB SD card popped out and got lost when my son was using it, now I realize the SD card should be flush with the slot and NOT extrude above the slot at all… Toshiba should re-design the SD card slot***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

***Thrive has “file manager<\/a>” which other tablets don’t, I can find my stuff easily***<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

***Thrive doesn’t need any “proprietary” cables to use: mini usb cable (standard), AC power charger (simple plugin type)… It DOES NOT CHARGE through mini usb port***<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
