Toshiba announced last week that they would be unveiling what they called the worlds thinnest tablet at CES, the device is now official and it is called the Toshiba Excite X10.

The tablet measures just 0.3 inches thick and weighs in at 1.18 lbs, it will come with Android 3.2 Honeycomb, it features a 10.1 inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels.

The Toshiba Excite X10 is powered by a dual core 1.2GHz TI OMAP4430 processor, there is also 1GB of RAM, plus a rear facing 5 megapixel camera and a front facing 1.3 megapixel camera.

It will come with a choice of 16GB or 32GB of built in storage, the 16GB version will retail for $529.99 and the 32GB version for $699.99, there are no details on an exact release date as yet.

It look pretty interesting from the photos, and certainly looks thin, although it costs around $130 more than the iPad, we wonder if people will pay the extra, especially considering all the tablet price drops we have seen recently.
