Toshiba Excite tablet vs. mythical Notion Ink Adam 2

So... Toshiba announced their Toshiba Excite Android tablet today. This is an interesting comparison because of the similarities.


Specification / Other
Toshiba Excite Notion Ink Adam 2
Price$529 startingUnknown
AvailabilityNowUnknown
ProcessorTI OMAP 4430 dual-core processorTI OMAP 44xx Dual-Core
OSStock ICS - Android 4.0ICS
Screen10.1" high res, 1280 x 800 LED Backlight, 16:10 aspect ratioWe know it won't have a high-res screen. That's all we know.
InterfacesMicro HDMI, microSD, microUSB, Bluetooth, WifiUnknown
Peripheralsfront (2 MP) and rear facing (5 MP) camerasUnknown
Software-stock ICS-World's first modular architecture, drag-drop, anyone can build apps etc.


So, here's what is interesting. This is available now, uses the same family of OMAP processors mentioned in Notion Ink's blog. Potentially has higher-res screen that Adam 2 and rest of it... is kind of same.

The Toshiba excite isn't exactly very exciting tablet (see  reviews), so a tablet that's kind of like this but comes 6 months later will be, er, you draw your conclusions. But Adam 2 might have a parallel port and a tape drive! Now that... that will be a game changer!

(now, get to work, retarded monkey)
