I won't go into what those prices say about the cost of memory and how easily it dictates tablet prices, but make no mistake: the Thrive's starting price is very aggressive.
Those looking for a sleek, thin tablet should probably check out the Samsung Galaxy Tab In the past we've criticized tablets for not being thin and sleek enough and preferred those that were. But the HP TouchPad didn't get dinged solely because of its bulky design; it was more that its bulky design offered no advantages. Note the completely removable battery and you begin to see that the Thrive is not just bulky for bulk's sake. There's definite method to Toshiba's madness here. Still, we would prefer it to be thinner, and the bad back camera placement and the sometimes clunky nature of its back-panel implementation won't win it any design awards.
Purchasers of the Thrive should know what they're getting into, but if you're comfortable with the extra girth, the Toshiba Thrive offers a great Honeycomb tablet experience at a very approachable price.

The camera captured smooth p video when filming traffic on a Manhattan street corner. Even on an overcast day, the yellow of taxicabs and blue of buses seemed reasonably vibrant.
For video and text-based IM, Google Talk is included. Using the 2-MP front-facing camera, we were able to conduct a video call with a friend who was using Google Talk on a Windows notebook, but poor bandwidth led to pixelation and lag. However, the front-facing camera itself produced sharp detailed images of our face in good lighting conditions, though our features were covered in shadow if there was a light source behind us.
