I'm disabled and easily drop things, so I never felt fully confident holding either the Galaxy or Iconia. By contrast, both the Galaxy and Iconia have a hard, slick back, and as a result, I personally found them both harder to hang on to. Some might not think much of this, but believe me, it's pretty awesome and makes the Thrive feel like velvet in my hands! It also gives me confidence in the tablet's durability and build quality. In fact, Thrive loaded and buffered YouTube videos better than the Galaxy, though there could be many reasons for that given all the devices on the store's WiFi network. Everything was fast, smooth and clean just the way it should be. The interface is so smooth and responsive, and the Tegra CPU is clearly a beast no hangs, locking or delays of any kind.
I even tethered it to my cell phone just for fun. Either way, I was doing everything from surfing the net, to customizing the entire interface and settings in minutes, all right there in the store - no user manuals, no nothing.

Naturally, that's as much a testament to Android 3.1 as it is to Toshiba Thrive. This Thrive, however, was very simple and easy to get the hang of within minutes right there in the store.

I got a new printer recently and had to fiddle with it for days because the install didn't set it up properly - and in my book - that's a sure sign of a piece of junk. But I was bitten by the bug so I went home and started researching other tabs.įor me, the truest test of any piece of tech, is the ability to use it straight out of the box with NO help from user manuals. I left the store feeling underwhelmed, and like it wasn't the right time to buy a tablet. I also like to get into the nuts and bolts of my peripherals and use them my way, so having no inputs on the Galaxy was a huge letdown for me. I'm all for "the cloud" and have one here on Amazon for my music, but I'm also the type that prefers to have my own stuff stored locally. The sales rep said that's because everything is trending toward the "cloud." Well, that's all well and good, but I like products that I control, not products that control me (hence why I'm no fan of Apple's line of iShackle products. But, the first thing I noticed was there's no inputs of any kind no SD slot, no USB, no nada. And I must say, I really fell in love with it - the screen is vivid and stunning, the interface is clean and responsive. So when the 10" came along, I just had to stop by a local retailer to try one out hands-on. I had been coveting the 8" model for some time, but just wasn't ready to take the leap. Prior to learning about Thrive, I was seriously considering the new 10" Galaxy Tab.
