THE MAKER OF EXPENSIVE PRINTER INK HP appears to have been awarded a trademark for the word Palmpad, which seems to indicate that HP's long awaited rival to the Ipad is on the way.
Officially HP has not released specific details on what it plans to do with the trademark.
The application tells us that HP will limit its use to "Computers, computer hardware, computer software, computer peripherals, portable computers, handheld and mobile computers, PDAs, electronic notepads, mobile digital electronic devices." We should think that would cover a tablet PC.
HP killed its Windows Slate project and has stopped production of its Android-based tablet.
With the name, and the fact that HP bought Palm and its WebOS it is a fairly good bet that HP will come up with another tablet.
Palmpad is not such a bad name. It's much better than Ipad or Streak.
