Ultra-thin Toshiba Tablet in the works

After Toshiba's first, chunky, attempt at an Android tablet, it's nice to hear that they're keeping at it and are planning an ultra-thin second tablet to join the Toshiba Thrive.

Toshiba's expected to announce a new ultra-thin tablet at IFA this week, swapping full-size USB and HDMI ports for micro-USB, micro HDMI, and microSD slots in order to shave off a few millimeters from last year's model, leaving the new device with a sleeker, much more appealing design. The rumored slate is expected to ship with a TI OMAP4460 dual-core 1.5GHz processor, an edge-to-edge screen, and a brushed-metal housing.
