Toshiba Thrive was one of the good Honeycomb tablets in 2011 [read our articles about it] thanks to its array of full size ports, but it was pretty bulky. Toshiba remedied that with the AT200 announced at IFA Berlin, but what we didn't expect is for the company to announce officially a smaller 7 inch Thrive called simply Thrive 7.

We haven't talked in a while about the Motorola Xoom, the first tablet with Android Honeycomb, but as of today new rumors point towards a smaller 7 inch Xoom that made its first appearance as a leaked blurry image.It's not actual proof, as anyone can take an out-of-focus picture of the Acer Iconia A100 and say it's the new 7 inch Motorola Xoom.
