While Toshiba already released two tablets in the past few years, the Toshiba Folio 100 and more recently the Toshiba Thrive, neither have gained enough traction to topple the iPad.

We just received word thanks to Notebook Italia that Toshiba will be unveiling a new Honeycomb tablet at IFA 2011, Sept. 2 through Sept. 7, that will not only be slimmer and more powerful than Toshiba’s current line of Android slates, but will also have an outstanding design as well, stealing a bit of that Apple beauty.

The only details we have so far for this slate are that it will supposedly be incredibly thin, only using micro interfaces, but will include a micro USB, micro HDMI and microSD slot. You can see from the photo comparing the new tablet to the Thrive just how thin it will be. The back cover will also sport a brushed-metal finish.

Expect more details when Toshiba hopefully makes an official announcement in Berlin in just a few days.
