Simply because haven’t heard a peep from Toshiba about its smaller 7-inch slate since September , does not imply you can not find it on sale in the market within the vast ether we love to name the web. Discovered by a tipster shrewd enough to Google its model number — “pda03u-005007″ for those of you that do not speak Toshiba — a host of oh-so-eager retailers are able to trade you around $450 in exchange for the rubberized slate. Jiving with previous plans to head on sale in “early December,” the 7-inch redux is thinner and lighter than its 10-inch brother , because it eschews the former’s penchant for full-size USB and HDMI ports. Adventurous types trying to meet the tablet can make the leap on the links below, but be forewarned our tipster needed to provide a business license simply to complete the sale. Your mileage may vary, though there’s always the choice to await the Thrive’s arrival through more official channels.
