Would you purchase the Toshiba Folio 100 or the iPad?
If I was going to choose between buying an iPad and buying a Toshiba Folio 100, it would have to be the iPad, and I do mean HAVE to be! Soon after the launch in November last year, the Toshiba Folio 100 was withdrawn from sale almost immediately due to a lot of them being returned by customers, complaining of various faults, including problems with the flash player. I have done some investigating on Google to find out whether Toshiba have overcome this embarrassing situation, resolved the problems and re-issued the Foli 100, but try as I will, I cannot find any up to date information.
Even when it is back on sale, I would want to hear some very positive reports before I would consider getting one after all these returns and the recall. This is why I say it would HAVE to be an iPad, at the moment, it doesn't seem possible to find a Toshiba Folio 100 for sale. I have put the link below, relating to this debacle, Apple must be thrilled!

BERLIN--Samsung's Galaxy Tab got a lot of the attention Thursday, but Toshiba had an Android tablet of its own to debut here at the IFA electronics show: the Folio 100. Tablet device on the market today. And where Samsung will sell the Tab only through phone companies as a kind of smartphone on steroids, Toshiba's Folio will like the iPad come in 3G and non-3G models when it goes on sale in Europe in the fourth quarter.
The Folio will cost 399 euros (about $511) for the version with just Wi-Fi networking; the 3G version price jumps to 499 euros (about $639). It's got a 10.1-inch multitouch screen with 1024x600-pixel resolution, an Nvidia Tegra processor, stereo speakers, a 1.3-megapixel Webcam, two USB ports, an SD card slot, an HDMI connector for sending video to other screens, Bluetooth communications, and 16GB of memory. It weighs 760 grams--about the same as an iPad with 3G abilities.
The Folio's battery lasts seven hours when being used 65 percent for Web browsing, watching video for 10 percent, and idling for 25 percent, Toshiba said. Android applications available, the Folio 100 also comes with the Opera Mobile Web browser, the FBReader e-book reader software, Documents To Go for productivity suite, Evernote for taking notes, Adobe's Flash Player 10.1 for running Flash apps, and Fring for video chat. Most of these are useful, so let's hope this doesn't portend the migration to Android of the crapware that bogs down (and subsidizes) many Windows PCs.
I found the Folio 100 to be comfortable to hold and easy enough to use for basic tasks. Its performance didn't jump out at me, and pushing buttons seemed to come with a lag I'm used to on phones, but applications loaded reasonably fast. I found the interface easy to dive into--but then, I'm already familiar with Android quirks, such as how to make the virtual keyboard pop up when you need it and go away when you're done.
The Folio 100 also taps into the Toshiba Place service. Toshiba Place provides a number of elements. First, it lets people log on to a single site that can then post content elsewhere, including Facebook and DailyMotion.
Second, it's got the Market Place to buy music, videos, e-books, games, news, and other content that's available on all Toshiba Places-equipped devices. That includes Folios, Toshiba laptops, and some TVs. The music service is powered by 7Digital, Toshiba said.
Like the Samsung Galaxy Tab, the Folio uses Android 2.2, aka Froyo. One thing different from mobile phones, though, is the inclusion of a home button in the upper-left of the screen to take a user to the full list of applications. As with phones, swiping left or right shows new applications.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
