### More Info

* [That 7.7-inch Toshiba tablet we saw at CES? It's called the AT270, and it runs Tegra 3][3]
* [Toshiba announces Excite 10, 7.7 and 13 tablets, Thrive slates on their way out][4]
* [Toshiba pushes AT270 Tegra 3 tablet through the FCC, gets Excited][5]

In its sophomore attempt at cranking out Android tablets, [Toshiba][6] has unleashed the Excite series, a trifecta of thin tablet terror, upon Terran territory. The tiniest of the [Thrive][7]-topping trio is the [Tegra 3][8]-toting [Excite 7.7][9], a close competitor to the [Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7][10]. It's portable, sports a gorgeous AMOLED display and packs plenty of processing power. Unfortunately for consumers, there aren't too many tablets this small with this nice a display, which means it'll be much easier for Toshiba to be noticed.

Coming to the US on June 24th, the WiFi-only version of the 7.7 -- also known as the AT270 -- will be available for $500 with 16GB and $580 for 32GB. It's not the most flattering price tag, but the Tegra 3 and brilliant display help ease the pain your wallet may experience. But is it worth it? You know what to do: head on past the break for our detailed review.
