Toshiba mystifies tablet-buying world with LT170 'budget' 7-incher

[![Toshiba LT170 budget tablet][1] ][2]

We'll be the first to admit that we don't understand Toshiba's tablet intentions. There are plenty of [tantalizing prototypes][3] and an abundance of [confusingly branded][4] models, but there's no overarching reason to pay much attention. The LT170 is a case in point: it's nominally a budget Android device, with a Freescale 1GHz CPU, 512MB of RAM and 8GB internal storage, but by now the €299 ($400) asking price could pick up something far, far nicer, like the heavily discounted 16GB [HTC Flyer][5] or 32GB [BlackBerry PlayBook][6]. Anyway, there it is. Bewilderment.
