HP trademarks the HP Touchpad, could that be the upcoming webOS tablet? A recent leak tipped us off that Palm was planning to unveil a 9-inch and 7-inch webOS tablet, codenamed the Topaz and Opal, respectively. While this is no confirmation that those will be the final names of the tablets, it has been discovered that HP filed a trademark for the term “HP Touchpad”. Of course, a trademark application itself doesn’t mean that the upcoming webOS tablet will be dubbed the HP Touchpad, but it wouldn’t sound too far fetched, considering it’s a tablet that offers a touchscreen display. It’ll be interesting if the name will bring about any conflicts with previous tablets such as the Hanvon Touchpad, though.
