With 16 GB of internal memory, the Thrive can be yours for $479.99. So far, the Thrive has been reported to have arrived at Best Buy sites in Austin, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia.

With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
