HP files for “Palmpad” trademark
A short time ago, HP applied to the USPTO for a trademark. “Palmpad.” I can’t be the only one who just gets a good feeling from this. We knew that HP was going to get their money’s worth from Palm when they nixed their Android plans and downplayed their Windows 7 tablet. While reports still have ...

BlackBerry Drive Keyfob Accessory In The Future?
Could RIM be looking to allow us to lock and unlock (maybe even control) our cars with a BlackBerry in the future? The company has filed a trademark application for a BlackBerry Drive, and it refers to a device described as:
“Key fobs; non-electric cables and wires of common metal; small items of metal hardware; goods of common metal not included in other classes”
Details of this filing weren’t really very clear about what device could be churned out by it, but what do you think will be possible to do with your BlackBerry in the future?

BlackBerry Drive trademark application filed
Research In Motion recently filed a trademark application for “Blackberry Drive“, where it describes it as “Key fobs; non-electric cables and wires of common metal; small items of metal hardware; goods of common metal not included in other classes”. This filing was made slightly more than a week ago, and from the sounds of it, it is as though Blackberry users are able to pair up their device to a shackle in order for locks to be opened simply by entering a PIN on the Blackberry application. Interesting, but how easy is it to compromise such a setup? We won’t be using this to store information that can lead devious busybodies to our stash of cash, that’s for sure.

Motorola Droid X stars in its clearest off-the-cuff preview yet (update: comparison shots!)
Let’s be honest, we’ve seen more Droid X / Xtreme / Shadow spy shots than we can keep track of at this point, but for the latest batch, Mr. Blurrycam must’ve forgot his trademark blur filter and delivered us the cleanest images yet — for shame, we know. Here’s what the current owners of the super-secret phone, Gadget University, are claiming: 4.3-inch screen (it seems to jump between 4.3 and 4.1, depending on whom you ask), 1GHz Snapdragon processor, HDMI out, HD video recording, Android 2.1 with a “new version of Motoblur” (Ninjablur, you say?), and hardware navigation buttons. The Verizon logo is again unmistakably clear, and according to the site’s “inside information,” the Droid X (as the Model number says) is coming next month, with training beginning at the end of this month.
[Thanks, Sean]
Update: And here it is alongside some of its contemporaries. Thanks, Jeremey!

Apple licensing ‘iOS’ name from Cisco, acquiring ‘FaceTime’ mark outright
Hey, look at that — Apple’s trademark attorneys actually called the senior owner of a trademark before Steve announced a product name and got everyone into a tizzy. See, Cisco routers and switches just happen to run an operating system called IOS, and that means Apple had to get permission to rename iPhone OS 4 iOS 4. Of course, the previous trademark tussle between Apple and Cisco over the iPhone mark probably means that all these guys are just good buddies now, so we’re just waiting for Mac OS X 10.7 “Lynxis” to hit.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering, a company called “FaceTime Communications” actually sold its “FaceTime” mark to Apple and is completely changing its name in the coming months. Might we suggest “Apple TV Remote” as an intriguing possibility?

iPhone OS 4 renamed iOS 4, launching June 21 with 1500 new features
We knew it had to happen eventually — iPhone OS has been renamed to iOS with the bump to version 4. Some 1500 new features are coming along with the name change, including biggies like multitasking, a unified inbox, app folders, and data detectors. Although Apple is encouraging devs to tweak their apps for the iPhone 4′s new Retina Display, iOS4 will also automatically redraw text and controls for existing apps to make them play nice with the new higher pixel density. Bing search integration has also been added to iOS 4 in addition to Google and Yahoo — Google is still the default, though. The golden master is available to devs today, and Steve says the 100 millionth iOS device — that’s iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad — will be sold sometime this month. That’s a lot of devices! We found out about most of the features of iOS 4 at the SDK event, so check here for the full rundown.
Apple says iOS 4 will arrive for the iPhone 3G, 3GS, and the iPod touch on June 21 — and it’ll be free to iPod touch owners for the first time, which is nice. Not all features will be supported across all devices: the first-gen touch is left out entirely, and the 3G won’t do multitasking, as we heard at the SDK event. We’ll see if there are any other limitations and let you know.
Amusingly, an iOS trademark is currently owned by Cisco — just like the original iPhone trademark — so we’ll see if Apple’s lawyers actually called ahead this time around or if they’ll have to fake-tussle and make nice again.

Apple’s Upcoming Magic Trackpad Leaked?
With WWDC just around the corner, we’re more or less expecting announcements related to the iPhone 4G, iPhone OS 4.0, and Safari 5, but this latest leak regarding a multi-touch trackpad peripheral seems to come entirely out of the blue (not that we’re complaining). According to the leaked information, it should be a Bluetooth device that connects to your desktop (or notebook if you wish), allowing you to enjoy all the multi-touch madness if you aren’t already using a MacBook with a multi-touch trackpad. Let’s not forget that Apple already has filed a trademark application for a Magic Trackpad some time back. Considering that Apple loves touch input more than a little bit, this does seem like a rather logical move. Do you think this Magic Trackpad will be unveiled at WWDC later?

Nintendo 3DS To Get 3DSPlay And 3DSWare Services?
While many details of the upcoming 3D-toting Nintendo 3DS are still unknown, it seems that it will have access to some services dubbed 3DSPlay and 3DSWare, thanks to some Japanese trademark documents that have been discovered. While exact details on these services haven’t been confirmed just yet, it’s believed that 3DSPlay will be a collection of arcade-style games such as WiiPlay for the Nintendo Wii; while 3DSWare will be an online games and application store, similar to the DSiWare for Nintendo’s portable DSi console. What features are you hoping to see in the upcoming Nintendo 3DS? Would the 3DSPlay and 3DSWare services sweeten the deal for you?

Walkman Outsold iPod in Japan During August [Apple]It's party time for Sony, as the planets of consumerism aligned to earn it a unprecedented win over Apple's iPod music-playing range. It's the first time Walkman has outsold Apple's music players inside the region since iPod arrived in 2001.
