Gadget Lab Show: WWDC Expectations and the Toshiba Excite 13

This week on the Gadget Lab Show, the gang talks about what you should expect from WWDC 2012, and gets up close and personal with a 13-inch tablet from Toshiba.

First up, reviews editor Mike Calore and staff writer Christina Bonnington talk about what we’re expecting to see from Apple’s WWDC keynote Monday morning. WWDC will be held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, and Christina and Gadget Lab editor Jon Phillips will be there live blogging the event. We were expecting iOS 6 to make its debut (and that has since been confirmed by banners at the conference site), but we’re also betting on OS X Mountain Lion being detailed, Apple introducing a new Maps app, and perhaps a refresh for the entire Mac lineup.

Next, staff writer Nathan Olivarez-Giles joins Mike to take a look at a new plus-sized Android tablet, the Toshiba Excite 13. Despite its unusual size, the tablet is actually pretty light, and has a great display (even if our unit was marred by a bubble defect). Unlike many other tablets, it has a great selection of ports, including an SD card reader and HDMI port. It will be available for $650 with 32GB of storage, and $750 for a 64GB model when it lands in stores soon.
