Can someone tell me why they discontinued the HDMI dock for the Excite 7.7?

I planned to order the dock today for the AT270 (Excite 7.7). After seeing in on the Toshiba Direct website for a couple of weeks, I went on today to order it and there was no longer a link for it (Funny though the google search still finds it).
Called Toshiba and after 20 minutes on the phone and pressuring a very non committal rep, he finally stated that they have discontinued the dock.
It's been out for a few weeks and already discontinued? Given that the Excite 7.7 does not have MHL support, how exactly am I supposed to connect my $500 paperweight to my tv?
I bought this tablet with the intent of using it to put presentations up on a tv (like my $250 Samsung Tab 7 does...) and now they discontinue the hardware that supports it?
Time to return it. Too bad really, excellent tablet otherwise.

If you are going to return it, why doesn't really matter. If you bought it with HDMI via the dock as an importatn use case, you should return it if you can.
There could be bunches of reasons why they dropped it. It didn't work. The tablet didn't work with it. It had compliance problems. They didn't think there would be enough demand to justify costs of bringing it to the market. And on and on.
Likely nobody who posts here is going to know.

    Nothing is working and I can't find the Roboform toolbar. Your lack of direct support is really irritating- a live chat at least would be helpful.

  • Most of the time I get The Connection Was Reset. Can someone tell me why this happens?

    When I click on Firefox or when browsing or going from one site to the other I get "The connection was reset" then have to click on Try Again.
    Can someone tell me why this is happening?
    Thank you.
    THE CONNECTION WAS RESET again this morning. I even get this message when I click on the Firefox Icon to get on the net. When for example I download something then it returns me to their site I get The Connection Was Reset. When I uninstall a program and it sends to to their site in order to answer as to why I am uninstalling their program then I get The Connection Was Reset.
    Every time this happens I have to click on Try Again and find this to be annoying.
    This does not happen once or twice a week, it happen ALL THE TIME.
    This morning I went to Safe Mode and followed the instructions on INTERRUPTED OR RESET CONNECTION which tells us what to do but this did not work either.
    Would be great if someone was able to let me know what to do in order to prevent this message appearing all the time.

    Do not know how to delete this reply. I replied instead of editing my question. I have edited the above now.

    You're looking at the SUBSIDIZED price of the iPhone in the US that carriers offer by having the purchaser enter into a 2 year contract.

    Well you already know the answer, but it was not included in iOS 6. Google released an YouTube App for the iPad so you can download that in the App Store.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    Can someone tell me why, since upgrading to Yosemite, I keep getting a message window saying "Another device on the network  is using your computer's IP address?"

    That may be what is a fairly common problem of 2 devices mistakenly assigned the same address. Try shutting off all of the devices connected to your router, reboot the router and then the devices connected to it.

    The only companies that can make a Scrabble game are the companies that own the rights to the game; Hasbro owns the rights in the US & Canada, Mattel owns the rights outside of the US & Canada.
    You need to be speaking to those two companies.

  • Can someone tell me why my iMac lighting element is flickering?

    Can someone tell me why my iMac lighting element is flickering and going to sleep mode too quickly?  The guys at Austin MacWorks (official Mac reps) said they could not duplicate the problem in the shop, but I have a feeling thery did not give it a thorough look.  I don't know to whom I should turn on this.

    What model iMac? Do "About the Mac" and report what it says for processor type. That's a good start to figuring out to which of the four families of iMac yours belongs.
    Also, check the OS version in the same window. Only 2002 iMacs with backlit displays can run the ancient 10.1 OS shown in your profile.
    If you are in Auston Tx, I'm pretty sure it has a real Apple Store. That;s an option if you are still under warranty.

    You don't need to have Lightroom 3 and 4 installed on your computer to install Lightroom 5.  Just install Lightroom 5 and input your serial number for 3 in the previous version box and your serial number for 5 in the upgrade box.

  • Can someone tell me why

    Can someone tell me why is the ctrl not returned back to the println stmt of method counter after the method counterRecursion is executed???
    pgm
    class Trial1
         int ct=0;
         void counter(String word)
              counterRecursion(word);
              System.out.println(ct);
         void counterRecursion(String w)
              if (w!=null)
                   switch (w.charAt(0))

                   Trial1 c=new Trial1();
                   c.counter("hello");
              catch(Exception e)
         }     

    What fsato4 means is never use an empty catch block:
    try {
        // code
    catch (Exception e) {}If there's an error anywhere (as it seems it's happening) it is being ignored.
    Using:
    try {
        // code
    catch (Exception e) {
        // do something with the exception, don't simply ignore it
        e.printStackTrace();
    }Prints any error in the console.
