HP applies for trademark on “Touchpad”
HP has filed for a trademark on the term “HP Touchpad.” That could mean the company doesn’t plan to call its upcoming webOS tablet the PalmPad, which is great news because that’s just a silly name.

Despite early evidence that Research in Motion’s upcoming tablet would bear the awkward moniker of “BlackPad,” this week the company announced a device with a slightly better name: BlackBerry PlayBook.
