Toshiba announces low-priced Android and Windows tablets

On the Windows side of things, Toshiba’s latest Encore 2 tablet comes in 8in and 10.1in varieties, with both running Windows 8.1, featuring 1280x800 displays and quad-core Atom processors, and offering about 10 hours of general usage on a full battery charge.

The 10.1in model—with its camera positioned for landscape usage—starts at US$269.99, while the portrait-centric 8in version sells for just US$199.99. Those prices likely reflect minimal internal storage (we’re guessing 16GB), but each can be purchased with up to 64GB of storage, and both include microSD card slots.

All three Toshiba tablets are set to debut in the United States in early July, but no word yet on a release outside of North America.
