Toshiba has unveiled their first bet into the Android tablet market with the Toshiba Folio 100, a 10.1-inch NVidia Tegra 2 powered Android tablet.

If you’re looking for a viable iPad alternative, the Folio 100 could be just it.

Toshiba Folio 100 Specifications
10.1″ capacitive display @ 1024 x 600 pixels
NVidia Tegra 2 CPU
16GB internal storage
Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
3G SIM card slot (optional models only)
mini HDMI, USB 2.0
SD/MMC Card Reader
1.3 MP webcam
7 hours battery life

What’s probably disappointing is that the Folio 100 will ship without access to the Google Market, a defect that a few cooked ROMs will no doubt rectify. In place of the lack of the official Google Market access, Toshiba has baked in Opera, Toshiba Media Player, FBReader, Fring (for video calls), Documents To Go, and Evernot. Aside from these, Toshiba also be offering its own app marketplace and developer platform for tablet-specific apps.

The Folio 100 will be available in the 4th Quarter of 2010 with a suggested retail price will be €399.
