Toshiba Thrive tablet on display at Best Buy, possibly on sale too?

The store apparently has several 16GB and 32GB WiFi models ready to fly off the shelves for $480 and $580, but we won’t hold our breath until we see a proper YouTube unboxing . Still, it may be worth a detour on the way home if you’re feeling lucky or just can’t wait any longer to inspect those full-sized ports.
