HP files for 'PALMPAD' Trademark

Looks like we have a possible name for the upcoming webOS Slate
previously known as Hurricane: PALMPAD. This from a USPTO Trademark
application filed on July 9th by HP. The trademake is listed in a
fairly comprehensive list of possible categories:

Computers, computer hardware, computer software, computer peripherals,
portable computers, handheld and mobile computers, PDAs, electronic
notepads, mobile digital electronic devices

While that rumored Q3 launch window still feels a little early, we're
wondering if maybe, just maybe, we might see a 2010 launch.

What do you think of the name? It's definitely in the range of iPad,
but we're liking that 'Pad' can be a a way to clarify it's a tablet yet
not let it get confused with Slate or Tablet or any of the other names
that might get applied to a Windows 7-based slate device.
