Toshiba dual-core Android tablet to be sold at Best Buy soon?

Best Buy seems to be getting into the Android tablet scene in a rather big way. They already have a decent selection of tablets available and the pre-order for the Acer Iconia dual-core tablet just went up today. Now word is that the Toshiba dual-core Android tablet will also be sold at Best Buy making that the second Tegra tablet for them.

Since it’s debut at CES 2011, this has been a front-runner as one of our favorite dual-core tablets. It felt good and solid to hold onto without being overly heavy and the extra grip on the back was nice.

Specs:

  • 10.1″ screen running at 1280×800 resolution
  • 2MP front-facing camera, 5MP rear-facing camera
  • Honeycomb
  • Dual-core Tegra 2 chip
  • WiFi, Bluetooth
  • Full-sized USB, miniUSB and full-sized SDCard slots along with an HDMI port
  • Removeable back plate so you can change the battery or the actual back plate to a different color (initially 5 to choose from at time of purchase). The back plate is also made out of a hard rubber material for extra grip which feels really nice.
  • Android Market access

 

No word yet on just when ‘coming soon’ will be or for how much although Toshiba has mentioned the pricing will be competitive. Question is will it be Acer tablet competitive or XOOM competitive in pricing. If this is well priced, it will end up in our hands the day it comes out, possibly with either a red or green backing on it.
