The HP-Palm merger and subsequent Slate demo has always bought is with oodles of news and rumors on a possible contender to the Apple iPad. Well it looks like it's almost here! The folks at PocketNow has reported that HP has filed for a trademark term "HP Touchpad". With this new filing and the European trademark for Palmpad, I suppose we will soon see a new line if devices with varying OS'es and designs. Hopefully Palm's venerated WebOS will finally see the light as a worthy contestant in the tablet wars. I personally can't wait as it is probably a tablet that I would consider over an iPad.
