    Default Toshiba Thrive

    What do you guys think of this tablet? Considering selling off my rooted Nook Color running CM7 and getting this. HDMI out, full size USB port, mini USB port, and a SD card slot are too sweet for me to pass up. The fact it has a user replaceable battery doesn't hurt either.

    My only concern is a software bug that causes it to have a sleep of death, although Toshiba claims they have a patch on the way to fix it.

    Xda doesn't have an official forum for it yet, so I'm just going to hold off until the fault gets fixed. A tablet that can't sleep properly is worthless in my eyes.

    I kinda like the Thrive, especially the full sized USB and HDMI port. and with SD cards now available in 64GB its a good option. Ohh plus a user replaceable battery too, thats a big plus.

    There is no doubt its a great tablet, but the sleep issue is an unforgivable flaw. Until the fix Toshiba promised gets rolled out I am not buying it.
