We were expecting Toshiba to launch its Windows 7 tablet during the second half of this year, but rumor has it that the company may be abandoning the slate altogether. 
DigiTimes is reporting that both the 11.6-inch slab and a forthcoming Chromebook  have disappeared from Toshiba's product launchpad, according to sources  within the industry. The Chromebook will reportedly be slashed due to  disappointing netbook sales in 2010, whereas the reasons behind the  tablet's cancellation remain less clear. 
DigiTimes suggests that Toshiba may be throwing all of its weight behind its new Honeycomb-powered Thrive slate,  meaning that its Windows 7 counterpart could either be delayed even  further, or simply relinquished. There's obviously plenty of speculation  swirling around, but we'll let you know as soon as we receive more  concrete reports.
