Love ICS, and quad core is very fast.

At 7.7mm, it really is impressively thin, slimmer than any tablet we've seen regardless of screen size.

So your movie will look ultra-dark on the big screen.

It has good resolution, and while not as amazing as Apple's retina display, it was pretty close.

Display color, brightness, resolution is very good.

The 2-megapixel front camera took fine-looking pics with serviceable detail, but you wouldn't want to use it beyond light video chat.

At the top middle of the bezel you'll find a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, and along the top edge, about an inch away, is a small microphone slit.

It has a beautiful aluminium shell, ICS operating system, quad core processor and a nice feel.

I've been wanting to get a tablet since last year and have been holding out since they announced ICS and Quad-Core processors.

I did look into getting the newer Excite, but don't like that there is one processor "MAP(tm) 4430 Processor" to handle all functions.
Excite 10 by Dancherd (Sep, 2012)
Google has worked closely with Texas Instruments to get the processors working more happily on Ice Cream Sandwich than they do on Honeycomb - good news for the Excite X10 - but we found the 3.2 software currently on the tab ran perfectly.

Plugged it in, it would not hold a charge after several hours, stating 0% charge.
Excite 10 by Lisa (Sep, 2012)
For me, the battery life in between charges has been good - probably averaging around 9 hours depending on what I'm doing that day.

As ever with this screen type, colours are vivid, viewing angles excellent and contrast levels very good.

Android may have more games than ever that are able to run on the bigger screen, but that doesn't do the Excite much good, because it just can't handle anything graphically intensive.

The audio enhancement feature clearly improved the sound quality of all audio when turned on, enhancing the previously muffled sound to something with more clarity.

I'm docking my review 2 stars down to 3 stars: it's still a nice thin tablet, has nice colors, and decent battery life, with a full SD card slot and a lot of outputs.
Rated 60% by by Mickey789--Mickey789 (Aug, 2012)
That was a nice surprise on this tablet as I had very limited space for apps on the old tablet and was always deleting to make more room for new apps.
Rated 100% by by susann (Sep, 2012)
Most tablets that are android based and 10.1 inch screens have1280*800 resolutions, however the brightness and clarity is fantastic.

Screen

If it weren't for the screen issues, I would be happy with the Excite, but since I am very particular about the quality of the display, I am giving up on the Excite.
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 40% by by Jon-Braude (Dec, 2012)
It's bright and accurate, viewing angles are excellent, with virtually no discoloration even far off-axis, and while you can definitely make out individual pixels and see some jaggies on small text, it's not enough to be a huge problem unless you're really looking for it.
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 41% by by The Verge (Mar, 2012)
The only drawback that I have seen is the screen isn't super HD but it is clear and has great color.

Type

I'm very impressed with how far along android has come.
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 100% by by ciscoprints (Jun, 2012)
When swiping through screens and navigating menus, the screen matches the sensitivity of most Android screens out there but can't quite compete with the uber sensitivity of the Transformer Pad TF300.
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 67% by by c|net (May, 2012)
I reccommend Toshba Excite AT305 families of tablets to anyone who wants an android ICS based tablet.

Camera

The rear camera takes extremely clear pictures indoors and outdoors and you'll love the way videos look on this.
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 100% by by JohnnyKilroy45 (May, 2012)
I like how I can use the the tablet to look at all of the pictures taken with the camera on a bigger screen immediately.
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 80% by by Osiris-A.-Rosa
On the back of the tablet at the top right is a 5-megapixel camera with an LED flash light directly to its left.

Operating system

Toshiba was fairly quick with OS updates, now running JB and this puppy is fast and smooth.

I got my wife a Nexus 7 for Christmas, and that operating system is beautiful.

Those who are experiencing lag on software and transitions obviously have a device with a combo of software and hardware issues.

Apps

This tablet is really great for gaming and watching movies, it can play any game with great graphics, I even play some games in 3D connected to my TV and a game controller.

My Exchange email syncs perfectly, as does my calendar.
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 60% by by Mickey789--Mickey789 (Aug, 2012)
A few lag issues and one or two force closes with apps, but I think that's because a few apps may not yet be compatible with this tablet.

Battery Life Matters!

When purchasing tablets, for me battery life really matters. Please help me know which of the two tablets has a longer battery life... Is it the Acer Iconia A510 or the Toshiba Excite 10? Thanks!
