Using the file manager, we were able to copy a 147MB 1080p MP4 tralier for Higher Ground to the internal memory in just a few seconds and play it flawlessly.

In our tests, copying an app off a USB stick to the internal memory was a snap. Once you attach an external drive or pop in an SD memory card, you can use Toshiba's file-manager software to transfer files between the internal memory and the external device. The full-size USB port is particularly helpful, because it allows you to plug in external storage devices such as USB flash drives and external hard drives with ease. On the left side sits a full-size SD card reader. On the right side of the chassis sits a head phone jack and, under a port cover, are full-size USB, mini USB, and full-size HDMI-out ports. One of the Toshiba Thrive's biggest differentiators is its comprehensive set of full-size ports. However, we wish Toshiba included a split keyboard option that would make it easier to type with our thumbs. Typing in landscape mode was easy with either keyboard because of the large keys and the optional haptic feedback.

The Thrive comes with a choice of two virtual keyboards, the standard Android and Swype, which allows you to type more quickly by tracing lines between letters. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to close apps. Those unfamiliar with Android 3.1 will most appreciate the multitasking button in the bottom left of the taskbar, which shows a scrollable list of thumbnails, each of which represents an open app you can switch to. Like other Honeycomb slates, the default electric-blue desktop wallpaper and color scheme reminded us of the Tron movies. The top bar features context-specific menus and information, such as a search box and link to the Apps menu which appear when you're on one of the desktops. A taskbar at the bottom of the screen has software back, home, and task-switching buttons on its left and alerts, clock, and wireless/battery icons on the right side. Like other Honeycomb devices, the Thrive features five customizable desktops to hold your shortcuts and widgets. Toshiba hasn't made any major modifications to the standard Android 3.1 "Honeycomb" interface. Whether we were listening to the jazz classic "Summer Madness" or Motley Crue's heavy metal "Shout at the Devil," we were able to make out a nice separation between guitar and percussion instruments. The built-in speaker offered solid, accurate sound that's loud enough to fill a small room.

However, when we played both a standard-def video we had shot with the Thrive and an old SD movie of Steve Reeve's Hercules, we noticed no difference with the technology on or off. Toshiba offers a video enhancement technology it calls Resolution+, which is designed to make standard-definition videos look sharper.
