Hands On With Toshiba’s Regza AT700 at CEATEC Japan [VIDEO]

regza-toshiba-at700

Last week when we visited CEATEC 2011, we managed to spend a few moments trying out the Toshiba Regza AT700 tablet. Billed as the world’s thinnest and lightest 10.1-inch tablet computer, the AT700 measures in at 7.7mm thin and weighs a paltry 558 grams. Compare that to the iPad 2 which has a thickness of 8.8mm and weighs 601 grams.

The tablet runs on Android 3.2 and is powered by a 1.20 GHz TI OMAP 4430 processor. There 1 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. Battery life is supposedly good for at least seven hours.

You can check out a quick demo of the interface below. The polished metal backing looks very slick, and with that very slim profile, it feels pretty nice in your hands.

Is it a legitimate competitor for the iPad? While we missed the company’s stage presentation, Toshiba reportedly hopes that the AT700 can help its tablet share can rise to 10 percent.
