Toshiba has finally made official the Excite trio of tablets – 7.7, 10.1 and 13.3. We already saw them twice back at CES in January and then at the MWC in February. We even went hands-on with the SuperAMOLED-packing 7.7 slate.
Today we finally got some official specs and the retail names – Excite 7.7, 10.1, and 13.3. All three slates are based on the quad-core Tegra 3 chipset and run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and have a pretty decent connectivity set – 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth. The Excite 7.7 – is probably the most interesting one. It is built around a 7.7-inch SuperAMOLED 1280x800px display, has a 5 megapixel main camera and a 2 megapixel front-facing snapper, a microSD card slot and a choice between 16 and 32GB of integrated storage.
The Excite 7.7 is expected to hit the shelves on June 10 with a $500 price tag.
The Excite 10.1 features the same internals as the 7.7, but the 7.7″ SuperAMOLED on the front has been replaced by a 10.1″ LCD. Thanks to the bigger shell Toshiba has managed to squeeze a regular size SD card slot here and a micro HDMI port. You will be able to choose between 16, 32 and 64GB internal storage options with this one.
The Excite 10.1 will be released on May 6 with a starting price of $450.
Finally, the huge Excite 13.3 comes with a high-res 1600x900px LCD screen and will also offer SD card slot and a micro HDMI port. There is no bump in the camera department though – 5MP at the back and 2MP at the front is all you get.
The 13.3 slate is expected to land on June 10 and will cost as much as $650.
