Technically speaking, we already know what Toshiba’s Smart Pad will look like. It was waved around in Australia briefly, and these shots seem to compare it perfectly, but corroboration for their validity is otherwise light on the ground. Must you prefer to trust them, after the break you’ll find visual confirmation for the HDMI and USB ports already promised by Toshiba, including a memory card reader and a pleasingly slender profile. The four touch buttons on its right side just scream Android as the operating system, and everything again reminds us of the Compal tablet we saw back at CES and subsequently accused of being a Toshiba-in-waiting. Notebook Italia expects this bad boy to step out of the shadows properly at IFA this year, and we already know Toshiba is cranking hard on bringing us a tablet of some description by the top of October. Fun times ahead, eh?
