Rated 100% by by S.-S.-Malhotra (Sep, 2011)SD and USB Card Slot; WHY IN THE WORLD, have we accepted otherwise?! For a photographer, this is awesome, I can take pics and look at them on a nice, large screen (as long as they are JPG, haven't test Nikon).

Announced January, 2011
Rated 65% by by c|net (Nov, 2011)I'm beginning to think it's probably easier to build a thin, 10.1-inch tablet than it is a 7-inch one that's equally as thin.
Conclusion Which is better for you?
Features Key features of the Toshiba Thrive 10" Tablet compared to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7
“10.1
Android 3.2 Honeycomb
Rated 80% by by N.-Lam--wiseMyan (Sep, 2011)It's better because it gives you all the options in hand like regular size SD Card port, USB, HDMI etc.It's screen is brilliant and with replaceable battery?? I couldn't ask more.
7.7”
Android 3.2 Honeycomb
Rated 74% by by The Verge (Mar, 2012)At 7.87mm thick, the Tab 7.7 is barely a tenth of a millimeter thicker than the Toshiba Excite 10 LE, the thinnest tablet we’ve seen yet, and Toshiba would do well to take a page from Samsung's book with regards to build quality — Toshiba trades quality for thinness in ways Samsung obviously doesn’t have to.

Thrive 10" Tablet by Tom-Gray--Tom-Gray (Aug, 2011)Hell, even the keyboard on the display is very nice size for my fat fingers.

Thrive 10" Tablet by Ewookie1 (Jun, 2012)The review ***For me, Thrive beats Galaxy Tab and Acer Iconia*** has a lot more details about the assorted features and is the main reason I purchased the Toshiba Thrive!
Galaxy Tab 7.7 by c|net (Nov, 2011)The 7.0 Plus's 7-inch screen has a 1,024x600-pixel resolution and uses Samsung's proprietary Plane-Line Switching (PLS) panel technology.

Thrive 10" Tablet by Viktor (Dec, 2011)Front camera good for Skype (even the current Skype version for Android can be better).
Galaxy Tab 7.7 by c|net (Nov, 2011)Images and video recorded with the front camera looked as if there were a deliberate film grain placed over it, and not in a cool, artsy kind of way, but more of the, "Hey, there seems to be some film grain on this video, can we please get rid of it?
processor
Thrive 10" Tablet by TriggerhippY (Nov, 2012)If anything, the ICS update seems to make better use of the Dual Cores in the Nvidia Tegra chip.
Galaxy Tab 7.7 by TrustedReviews (Mar, 2012)Inside, there's a 1.4GHz dual core CPU running the show.
Performance Real world tests of Toshiba Thrive 10" Tablet vs Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7

Galaxy Tab 7.7 by c|net (Nov, 2011)Both tablets use the Exynos 4210 CPU, which in terms of speed hits somewhere between the Tegra 2 and Tegra 3 chips.
battery life
6.5 hour
10 hour
Thrive 10" Tablet by TriggerhippY (Nov, 2012)You get about 6 hours of solid use out of one charge so 3 batts give me about 18 hours of unwired use.
Galaxy Tab 7.7 by TrustedReviews (Mar, 2012)The former is a much more understandable decision given the tablet's size but the latter is agrrevating as it means you always need that cable and that cable only to charge this device.
