The Japanese electronics maker has priced its entry-level $ 429 (£ 262), which is cheaper than the base model of Apple's iPad2.

The tablet will go on sale in the U.S. on July 10.
"Non-Apple products"

Samsung has launched its Galaxy tab, while Sony has also announced its entry with two new models.
While none of them are able to make a significant dent in Apple's market share, Toshiba says the demand for other products was gradually increasing.
"There is a market out there of people who want to buy non-Apple products, " said Jeff Barney, Toshiba America.
