At a press conference celebrating 25 years of laptop-making, Mark Whittard, Managing Director of Toshiba Australia, concluded by showed off a prototype for the Toshiba SmartPad, a tablet he said would hit sometime around October of this year.
The suspiciously familiar looking prototype is among the many tablets Toshiba\’s preparing, relays PC Authority Australia, some of for you to run Android and others Windows 7. Whittard didn\’t say which operating system the SmartPad would run.
There aren\’t too many details on any of them yet, really, though Whittard said that the SmartPad prototype sported HDMI and USB ports and was slated for a September/October launch. From the looks of things, with regards to design, it won\’t be too far a departure from the tablet established order. [PC Authority AU]
