Toshiba kicked off CEATEC 2011 with a highly entertaining press conference where it officially announced to Japan the Toshiba Regza AT700 - "the world's thinnest and lightest tablet". The 10.1-inch tab weighs just 558g and is 7.7mm thin. It has a touch display and is powered by the Android 3.2 Honeycomb operating system.
Regza AT700 has a 1.2 GHz dual-core TI OMAP 4430 processor and 1GB RAM. It offers an internal memory of 32 GB. Users can expect sharp images with a resolution of 1280 x 800p on its display. Resolution+, audio enhancer and noise equaliser promise clear pictures and sounds. The tablet has a 2MP camera in the front, making video calls convenient. The rear camera is as usual sharper at 5 mega pixel.
The device also sports a digital compass, a GPS, a gyroscope and an accelerometer. It offers support for micro HDMI and micro USB too. A microSD memory card slot allows for memory expansion. Toshiba's Regza link share technology lets users share content between their other Toshiba devices and the tablet over Wi-Fi. In fact, the company has made it child's play to stream content from Tosh Blue Ray and its computers to the tablet.

The Regza AT700 is similar in a lot of ways to Toshiba’s previous tablet, the AT200. The price of the Regza is yet unknown but the device will hit the Japanese markets in December. It will probably roll out in the rest of the world a little later.
Toshiba has its hopes pinned on the new and improved AT7OO, since it hasn’t been able to complete with players like Apple and Samsung in the past with its previous innovations. Maybe the Regza AT 700 will be able to carve a niche for Toshiba in the tablet world after all. Only December will tell.
