Default Engadget Reviews the New Toshiba Thrive 7"

http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/27/...hrive-7-review/

"Indeed, the Thrive 7" looks near-identical, and even packs the same Tegra 2 chip, 16GB of storage and vanilla take on Honeycomb. Still, it brings an LED flash, keeps its big brother's 1280 x 800 display and costs less than the original did when it first came out."

There were a few things I liked about the 10" version of the Thrive.  For one thing it had a full size SD slot, as well as full size USB and HDMI ports!  It also had a mini-USB (oddly not micro-USB) and a Toshiba developed "Resolution+" technology for scaling phone apps and making them look decent on a tablet.  The Thrive 7" drops the full size ports as you may expect but it does keep the Resolution+ and the 1280x800 screen - which gives it a high dpi for a tablet of 216.  Unfortunately it sounds like performance isn't very good, the screen isn't great, and battery life is poor for a current tablet.  Still, depending on your needs this could be the right tablet for you.  Check out the full review for the details.
