Toshiba Excite
All you spell checkers need to get a life. Don't any of you realize it's the keyboard and not the person that makes the mistakes. I'm constantly yelling at mine!

As an owner of the Toshiba Thrive, I'd like to know if a price has been thrown out for the Excite. Thinking of buying my son the Excite and giving my Thrive to my daughter when I purchase the Ipad3 (did I spell it right?) later this year. Personally, I want to know everything about Android and Apple's system which I believe is/will be called ios5(?). I personally like the USB and the SD (I have 16Gb) connections the Thrive provides as well as the docking station I use ($29 on Amazon). Believe the HDMI to be a waste as I'll never use it nor do I understand the sense of it. However, the costs associated with owning a Thrive are not that high as I believe the Apple Ipad3 will be for similar hardware.

That being said, I would much rather read articles on the differences between Android & Apples' operating system. Differences between Android 2.3, 3.2 (honeycomb) and 4.0 (ice cream sandwich). Why the hardware only provides for certain levels(?) of upgrade? i.e., will my Thrive be able to have 4.0 installed or am I at the max level today (3.2)? Why and what are the benefits/negatives of 'rooting' my Thrive. For that matter, should I? What are the risks?

Until then, please continue to misspell. Makes for interesting comments.
