Toshiba concept tablet pictures: A huge 13.3-inch tablet, an underwater tablet, and more

By Jeffrey Van Camp January 11, 2012

Toshiba only unveiled plans to release one new tablet at CES this week, the Excite X10, but it wants everyone to know that, should the need arise, it can release any damn tablet it pleases. Working prototypes for a 13.3-inch tablet, a 7.7-inch AMOLED tablet (See: Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab 7.7 LTE), a 5.1-inch widescreen tablet that looked quite phoney, and a waterproof version of the original Toshiba Thrive, complete with a wireless power station, allowing it to be powered wirelessly from a few inches away.

Like concept cars in the automotive industry, none of these designs may ever see the shelves of an electronics store. From the way representatives spoke about them, their presence at the show here is to solidify how prepared Toshiba is to enter the tablet market in whatever way is necessary. The use of AMOLED in the 7.7-inch design is also a clear shot at Samsung, which has been bragging about its 7.7-inch AMOLED Galaxy Tab. I’m not sure what it is about 7.7 inches that’s so great for AMOLED, but manufacturers seem to be jumping on the combination.

Do you think Toshiba should release any of these? Would anyone buy a 13.3-inch tablet? It seems a bit large.

I keep forgetting about the Apple Watch Series 9’s coolest feature

Apps on the Apple Watch Series 9's screen.

I’m just going to come out and say it: I love the Apple Watch Series 9. A couple of weeks ago, I returned to wearing it every day after an extended period of not doing so. And you know what? I was surprised by how much I’d missed it.

But one thing has bothered me this time around: There's a feature I haven't been using. Not because it’s bad, but because I tend to forget it's there.

The OnePlus 12R is still one of 2024’s best smartphone deals

OnePlus 12R Genshin Impact Edition in hand.

OnePlus is still quite new to me, as I was a lifelong iPhone user until I joined Digital Trends. However, OnePlus has a pretty solid reputation in the mobile world, and now I can see why, as the OnePlus 12 is one of my favorite smartphones that I’ve used so far this year.

But the OnePlus 12 isn’t the only phone that OnePlus launched in 2024. There is also the more affordable value option, the OnePlus 12R, which even comes in a cool Genshin Impact Edition.
