Oh look, another Android tablet is coming to the market. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Android tablet, but do we seriously need all of these that ate out there? There all different sizes and capacities and operating systems. It seems to me that these companies are just trying to cash in on the market and just releasing different sizes of the same tablet. The Thrive is the latest, it’s coming in December and it will have a dual core Nvidia Tegra in it along with Nvidia graphics and a 5mp camera with flash. The tablet will only weigh .88 lbs and is only .47” thick. It will have mini-USB, micro HDMI and a microSD slot along with the common Bluetooth and wi-fi as well. Here’s some more info and a bunch of pictures…
