We have spoken of Toshiba upcoming 10.1-inch Android tab on numerous occasions before. It made an appearance at CES and we caught that back in January, specs popped up from BestBuy in early Apriland a scheduled release was slated for June in Japan. Now, however it would seem that the Toshiba tab in question might be finally making its way across to the US and not only that, it gets a new name too.
The Japanese market will get their first taste of the Toshiba tab under the guise of the not-so-catchy Regza AT300, does not exactly roll off the tongue, Although there is been no official announcement, it looks like elsewhere in the world we will be getting our hands on the Toshiba Thrive-instead. The source of a name change in the works comes from a 1, 2, punch of clues scattered across the net.
Firstly, Toshiba registered Thrive under a trademark mid-April this year, followed by a placeholder page on Toshiba US site, currently populated with information based on their Satellite E305 Notebook. Alongside this, Twitter lit up with a number of tweets from a host of actors all talking about shooting a new Toshiba ad, one mentioning the Thrive by name and even suggesting the ad has something to do with zombies.
The Thrive looks to be a pretty decent slate with a 1280×800, 10.1-inch display, an NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core processor, a front facing 2MP camera and a 5MP on the back, a host of ports, including HDMI out, and of course. Wi-Fi. Toshiba already have a feature site for what most certainly looks to be the Thrive which you can check it out here for more shots, features, specs and so on.
