Toshiba Folio 100 tablet gets important firmware update to improve performance

Toshiba’s Folio 100 Android-powered tablet has had its share of woes; such as responsiveness and multimedia processing issues that saw UK retailers pull it from shelves. Now Toshiba has released a firmware update that should help solve the performance issues. Aside from that, the 2.2.5.0053 firmware introduces a pinch-to-zoom multi-touch feature. One thing that is missing from the update is Flash Player 10.1, which is already available but needs to be installed separately and manually. The bad news is that reports are still going around that folks who have installed the update noticed the device still goes into deep sleep mode without permission and requires a reboot to make it work again. Perhaps another update is on the way?

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.
