Toshiba brings First Android MID in India

Toshiba has announced new AC100 Mobile Internet Device running Google Android 2.1 operating system in India. Toshiba AC100 houses Nvidia Tegra System-on-Chip to run the Android 2.1 smoothly. Sporting a 10.1-inch display, Toshiba AC100 would be available at all leading electronic and computer outlets in India for Rs. 18,721.

One of its kind Toshiba AC100 sports Nvidia Tegra 250 System-on-Chip processor that was debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show 2010 in January. Tegra 250 or Tegra 2 architecture features dual-core ARM Core A9 architecture System-on-Chip that runs up to 1GHz and has eight independent processors. Toshiba AC100 would be capable of 1080p HD encode-decode and Flash 10.1 hardware acceleration with the Tegra 250 chip.

Toshiba's AC100 MID has 10.1-inch Clear SuperView display with LED backlight and supports 1024x600 pixel resolution. That just undermines the prowess of Tegra 2 chip which is capable of supporting 1080p HD video. Other internal hardware includes 512MB DDR2 333MHz RAM and mere 8GB Flash storage.

For wireless connectivity, AC100 has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR support. You can connect different portable devices one USB and one Mini-USB port. The MID also offers a 1.3 megapixel webcam, Audio-Mic combo port, SD & MMC card reader, and HDMI Port for hooking it to HD Display.

Running Android 2.1 Eclair operating system, we're sure that this laptop would be cable of Android 2.2 Froyo update on it. But Toshiba has put in Home Menu and a customizable desktop with widgets and shortcuts on it. That means Froyo 2.2 can be installed on only when the update is officially available.
