The Toshiba Folio 100 is a multimedia tablet which is not sold officially in the US but available in many other countries. The initial reviews were not very good and one of the main drawback of this tablet is that it doesn’t support the Android Market out of the box. Thanks to the community most of the issues are solved and the Toshiba Folio 100 can now run Android Honeycomb. Let’s find out how.
