Toshiba slims down with AT200 tablet
Toshiba announces the AT200 Android Honeycomb tablet at IFA 2011, measuring an impressively thin 7.7mm.
If you like your tablets thin, Toshiba's AT200 Honeycomb tablet (branded as the "Excite" for European markets) looks to be the thinnest Honeycomb slate we've seen yet, measuring just 7.7 millimeters thick. Announced at IFA 2011, the AT200 is sporting a 1.2GHz TI OMAP 4430 processor, configured with 1GB of DDR2 RAM and up to 64GB of onboard storage.
Fitting with the microscopic profile, you get Micro-USB, microSD, and Micro-HDMI ports. And in spite of what must be a miniaturized battery, Toshiba rates the AT200 at 8 hours of battery life. Not too shabby.
As you can see in the included photo, the tablet's backplate is covered in a brushed aluminum, with an integrated 5-megapixel rear camera (there's a 2-megapixel camera on the front). Under the hood you'll find the regular cast of 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, accelerometer, gyro, digital compass, and a pair of integrated speakers.
The AT200's 10.1-inch screen is set to a 1,280x800-pixel (16:10) screen resolution, which will be showing off Android 3.2 by the time it hits Europe and Asia in the fourth quarter of the year. Pricing is still TBD, as is any hope of its arrival in the U.S.
