The Toshiba Thrive tablet comes with Honeycomb 3.0 and lets viewers see Flash websites in the browser. Toshiba is promoting the new Android tablet with Twitter follower contests and Flash Mobs.
Toshiba is planning to break the world record for dancing robots in San Francisco at the Hard Rock Cafe and in Los Angeles at the gate of Universal Studios.
SoCal and Bay Area tablet lovers who want to thrive - get your aluminum foil and metallic garb ready to be part of the Flash Mob. If you don't resemble a Robot, there will be costume materials at the events for last-minute dressers. They already have over 400 people registered. There are different missions, and winners will get a Toshiba Thrive tablet. The Flash Mob event is part of Mission Three.
Location Information for Toshiba Thrive Flash Mobs:
San Fransisco - June 25th @ 12:00 pm, Hard Rock Café at Pier 39.
Los Angeles - June 25th @ 2:00pm, Universal Studios Main Gate.
