The unnamed Toshiba Android Honeycomb tablet has got a moniker. At least, that’s if a selection of Newegg product listings is correct. Wait for it…Toshiba’s Android Honeycomb tablet will be called: the ANT. Yep, it’s going for a kind of insecty vibe. The Toshiba Android Honeycomb tablet will be available in three configurations if the listings are right with the ANT-100 (8GB), ANT-102 (16GB) and ANT-104 (32GB).
