I'm looking into getting a tablet and am questioning the choice between two: The Toshiba Thrive and the Toshiba Excite. The older model Thrive has recently been discontinued in favor of the new Excite. I can get either for about the same price, though the discontinued model is getting harder to find.
The older model has a full-sized HDMI port and a full-sized USB port...both unusual for tablets. It runs Android 3.1.
The newer model has mini-usb and mini-hdmi ports. It's a bit slimmer, lighter and runs Android 4.
I like the connectivity of the older model, but am concerned that maybe it doesn't make sense to be spending the same amount of money on an older model with an older OS. I don't know if it really makes a difference when all is said and done.
Any thoughts on running an older Droid IS vs. the newest version? I'm not really seeing much that's definitive...
