When the first Toshiba Android tablet was released, it seemed like a really big deal - at one point it was even rumored that they'd be the ones to host the tablet-centric Android 3.0 Honeycomb as a hero - alas that did not happen, and now that the first iteration (call the Toshiba Thrive, just so you know) is both too fat and unwieldily to sell as a top dog, the big T is sending out a new generation called Toshiba Excite. This tablet was revealed a few weeks ago as a contender for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with its dual-core 1.2Ghz Texas Instruments OMAP4 processor and its 10.1-inch display at 1280 x 800 resolution - and today Mobile Syrup relays Toshiba information that it'll be on sale come February 2012.

Toshiba REGZA 55X3 4K2K glasses-free 3D TV gets $11.5k price
Toshiba's REGZA 55X3 TV almost had it all when the glasses-free 3D 55-inch 3850 x 2160 set was announced back in October; all that was missing was the price.

It was all the way back at the start of this September that we got our first look at Toshiba's entry into the Ultrabook world with the X830 series, and today is the first that pricing has been revealed in the UK. Pricing over the ocean from where I'm sitting is a bit indicator on what the device will cost here in the USA as well, so let's have a look: anywhere from £899.99 for the most basic to £1099.99 for the most powerful of models. In addition, there doesn't appear to be any option to add the i7 processor we heard about earlier this year.
