HP files for ‘HP Touchpad’ trademark

Hewlett Packard just filed for a trademark on “HP Touchpad” across a wide variety of products and services ranging from memory cards to “tablet computers.

It also looks like HP is dropping Palm from the picture as it does not even mention it for the Feb WebOS event, where this tablet might be introduced. HP’s already invested heavily in branding its laptop trackpads with the ClickPad name.

HP could possibly be looking to hedge its bets by getting into the Android game as well, or it may be pushing out a consumer-oriented version of the Slate.
