Could Toshiba’s nameless Honeycomb tablet finally have a correct name? As a result of a helpful tipster, we have now our clearest indication yet. Toshiba just filled an indicator application for the name “Thrive” last week and, as you will see that above, it clearly describes the products and services being trademarked as a tablet computer. What’s more, evidently the corporate’s also gone on a little bit a site name buying spree lately, with it snapping up a good number of “Thrive” variations including ToshibaThrive.com, ThriveTablet.com, ThriveToshiba.com and TabletThrive.com (none of which actually go anywhere just yet). Obviously, this isn’t the primary possible moniker for the tablet that’s cropped up. The name “Antares” surfaced long ago at Mobile World Congress, that can account for the ANT model name we also spotted, even though it certainly sounds more like a codename than “Thrive” does to our ears — and, so far as we are able to tell, Toshiba hasn’t attempted to register an indicator for Antares (or another names recently, for that matter).
