While I was out and about the other weekend I had a wander around my local PC World store and I noticed next to the the iPads and netbooks was the Toshiba Folio Android based tablet. The first thing I noticed was it was sluggish, clunky and didn’t have access to the proper Android app store so I wasn’t surprised to read on PCPro.co.uk that PC World are pulling the Folio due to the high level of returns.
"We can confirm that we have taken the Toshiba Folio off sale temporarily as we have had a high level of returns and we do not want to give our customers a bad experience of what is actually a very good product," said PC World’s head of consumer PR, Anina Castle. "We are working with Toshiba to identify what the issue is and hope to have a resolution very soon."
If purchasers buying the Folio are expecting iPad like experience then they are going to be disappointed, maybe future developments of Android will be better tailored to tablets but for now I would stay clear
Anyone Android tablet users disagree?

This has got to be one of google’s worst nightmares. They build the best phone OS, give it away for free, and then cut price OEM manufacturers sticks it on cheap tablet hardware that it’s not (yet) suitable for, and Android gets a bad name as a result. Even big names like Toshiba are cutting corners to get a share of the Christmas market.
Google should start introducing mandatory minimum hardware specs to try and stop this sort of fiasco.
