Excite 10 by The Verge (Mar, 2012)At 7.7mm, it really is impressively thin, slimmer than any tablet we've seen regardless of screen size.
Excite 10 by P.-Perry (Aug, 2012)I would rate this a 4 out of 5 because there are better displays out there but it is certainly a big reason to buy this tablet.
screen resolution
Excite 10 by SkyKnight (Jun, 2012)It has good resolution, and while not as amazing as Apple's retina display, it was pretty close.

Excite 10 by c|net (May, 2012)The 2-megapixel front camera took fine-looking pics with serviceable detail, but you wouldn't want to use it beyond light video chat.
Excite 10 by c|net (May, 2012)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.
processor
Excite 10 by A.-Brown--Al (Jun, 2012)It has a beautiful aluminium shell, ICS operating system, quad core processor and a nice feel.
Excite 10 by G-Radio (May, 2012)I've been wanting to get a tablet since last year and have been holding out since they announced ICS and Quad-Core processors.

cpu speed
Excite 10 by Dancherd (Sep, 2012)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 TrustedReviews (Mar, 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.
battery life
12 hour
6.5 hour
8.5 hour
Excite 10 by Lisa (Sep, 2012)Plugged it in, it would not hold a charge after several hours, stating 0% charge.
Excite 10 by susann (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.

Screen
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | by TrustedReviews (Mar, 2012)As ever with this screen type, colours are vivid, viewing angles excellent and contrast levels very good.
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 60% by by Marco-A.-Cabrera (May, 2012)The charger is quite small, the screen is very bright and vivid, and this thing is very quick at loading and ripping through apps etc..
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 41% by by The Verge (Mar, 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.
Operating System
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 100% by by Nathan-foresman (May, 2012)Most tablets that are android based and 10.1 inch screens have1280*800 resolutions, however the brightness and clarity is fantastic.
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 100% by by ciscoprints (Jun, 2012)I'm very impressed with how far along android has come.
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 67% by by c|net (May, 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.
Operating system
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 60% by by Mickey789--Mickey789 (Aug, 2012)I got my wife a Nexus 7 for Christmas, and that operating system is beautiful.
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 100% by by A.-Torres--drew-torresThose who are experiencing lag on software and transitions obviously have a device with a combo of software and hardware issues.
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 67% by by c|net (May, 2012)Web and app download speeds matched most other Android tablets when within 5 feet of our test router, and even when up to 20 feet away, the connection retained much of its strength.
Camera
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 100% by by JohnnyKilroy45 (May, 2012)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 80% by by Osiris-A.-RosaI 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 67% by by c|net (May, 2012)On the back of the tablet at the top right is a 5-megapixel camera with an LED flash light directly to its left.
Apps
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 80% by by jamartinez (Oct, 2012)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.
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 100% by by susann (Sep, 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.
Toshiba Excite 10 64 GB | Rated 60% by by Mickey789--Mickey789 (Aug, 2012)My Exchange email syncs perfectly, as does my calendar.
