The world may be waiting for Apple to unleash its take on the tablet computer, but in the meantime, anyone looking for an awkward hybrid of a smartphone and netbook need look no further than Toshiba — it announced the JournE Touch tablet today at IFA.

More details and a video of the announcement after the cut.

The JournE Touch has a 7in touch-screen and runs Windows CE 6.0 Pro (the underlying operating system for Windows Mobile 6). It’s only a prototype at the moment, but the 14mm thick JournE Touch can (or at least will) output 1080p HD video over HDMI and run Internet Explorer.

 

The photos show a bespoke front-end for access to various social networking services too, though it looks like the JournE Touch will stop short of being a full general purpose PC. Still, not bad for a predicted price of around €250 (around £220).

Here’s that video from the launch:
