To be released in time for the Christmas gift shopping frenzy, the Toshiba Folio 100 will be a perfect gift for those who want a Tablet computer as a gift. Toshiba has been working quietly, trying to produce a great tablet that is affordable to many and has a great operating system and is exactly what consumers want.

Toshiba has made its Folio 100 with a screen that dwarfs that of the Samsung Galaxy Tab and is even larger than Apple’s iPad. At 10.1 inches, the screen size is ideal for viewing widescreen movies, as it is large enough for its 16: 9 dimensions.

The Toshiba Folio 100 is similar in thickness and weight to the Apple iPad and is very durable and robust.

The Folio 100 display has pinch zoom capability like many smartphones, making browsing the web interactive and convenient. The Folio 100 tablet will display all kinds of Flash animation and video files incredibly well and will be fast as it houses a dual core Tegra 2 processor which will make it a fast system.

In addition to all this, the Folio 100 includes Androids newest operating system, the FroYo, this will provide the Toshiba Folio with access to more than 100,000 applications that are for Android phones.

There is a 16GB internal memory which is really quite powerful and has a predicted battery life of 7 hours.

The version of the Folio 100 tablet that will be released for the Christmas market will only have Wi-Fi, but later models will have 3G included.

So if you are looking to venture into the new tablet market and you want a device that allows you to watch movies and surf the internet, then this could be the device for you. It also appears that it will go on sale for much less than the other tablets, which may make it a much more viable option for many more people.
