Most Android fans are probably elbowing and fighting for a quad-core tablet right now. Those bad boys are smooth, but if you are a fan of aesthetics, one of your best bets is the Toshiba Excite X10 (AT200). We have already seen it hit the UK, but today’s good news are for our fellow Canadians, who can now pre-order this super thin tablet.
Back in December, Toshiba’s Canadian website promised that this device would hit the streets by January 2012. As it goes with these products, plans don’t always work as expected. But the Excite X10 has been showing up at retailer’s websites, and the shipping date is stated to be February 29th.
This is not a bad tablet to own. It packs a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, Android 3.2, 10.1-inch display, a 5 MP rear-facing camera and a 2 MP front-facing camera. But what really makes this tablet stand out is its aesthetics. The tablet has a brushed metallic finish that gives it a very elegant look. Not to mention that it is only 7.7 mm thin, making it one of the thinnest tablets out there.
This device is pre-selling for $550 for the 16 GB version, and $600 for the 32 GB version. If you are into power, you can get an ASUS Transformer Prime for a bit less, though. Or other Tegra 2 tablets for much less.
Regardless, we hope this one gets to the US soon. But for now, Canadians can go ahead and pre-order it at futureshop.ca. Is anyone going to get a Toshiba Excite X10? Would you rather get a Tegra 3 tablet?

I would say pass on it and get the Asus! Toshiba has HORRIBLE support once they get your money.

I’t aint even worth 550 canadian dollars, Not quad-core, no 4.0 ICS, No HD screen. Price drop is imminent
Well if a transformer is cheaper than that’s the way to go, because the specs on it make it way better deal. No matter how it looks. But i honestly think the transformer looks better anyway.
