Toshiba Thrive Update Available Now, Fixes Resume From Sleep Issue

Toshiba has just delivered on their promise of an update for the recently launched Toshiba Thrive Android 3.1 Honeycomb tablet that should fix the sleepy firmware issue. The update comes after some users reported that the tablet would not wake from sleep mode, requiring them to reboot or even reset the tablet.

We've recently done a full review on the Toshiba Thrive and so we also checked for the update on our unit. It is indeed there as the screenshot below indicates. To get the update, you'll have to use Toshiba's Service Station utility app, which can be found in your apps panel. Not only should it fix the resume-from-sleep issue, it should also add some improvements to multimedia playback.

Toshiba released the following statement regarding the software update:
