We have some news from Toshiba this morning. The company officially launched their new Excite line of Android Tablets. Toshiba has taken things to a new level with the Excite, by heavily stepping up the specs, reducing the size and weight, and adding a unique new size category, the monstrous 13-inch tablet! For reference, there are several specs that all of these tablets have in common. Here is a list of all the specs that they all have, prices are only listed in dollars and then below that we have each individual tab with their differences:

• Fixed Back Covers with an Aluminium Surface and styling
• Dual Cameras – 2MP for the front and 5MP for the back that can handle 1080p HD video
• Tegra 3
• 1GB DDR3 Ram
• Gorilla Glass
• Stereo Speakers with SRS Surround
• WiFi
• Android 4.0/Ice Cream Sandwich – Unskinned & Stock from Google
• BioManager Utility to improve battery life

Here’s a breakdown of the different specs of each individual new Toshiba Excite Tablet:
