possible name for the Toshiba "ANT" tablet: Thrive
clue 1: Toshiba filed the following trademark in early April  clue 2: Toshiba registered the following domains in March - ToshibaThrive.com - ThriveTablet.com - ThriveToshiba.com - TabletThrive.com still, these are juz guess works, but looks pretty solid to me... |

what surprised me more is that it took Toshiba so long to come up with a market name (but still end up being the same as some other devices)...
juz go on with Folio, i think that's fine... |

Toshiba is not know to be good with software anyway... unlike Samsung who has been fiddling with mobile OS for so many years... Android 2.x on tablet is not really a simple task since u re dealing with a phone OS on a "non-phone"...
let's juz hope Toshiba learnt their lessons and Thrive will work on Honeycomb better... |
