It's an open secret at this point that HTC is almost certainly working
on one or more tablets for introduction in 2011 -- and with
heavyweights like Samsung, Motorola, and LG all playing the game (or
about to play the game), really, how could they not? PocketNow has
unearthed a very fresh trademark filing with the US PTO -- filed this
past Sunday -- for "HTC Scribe," described as a "handheld wireless
device, namely, a tablet computer." Doesn't get much more definitive
than that. Of course, companies file for marks that they don't
ultimately end up using all the time -- from their perspective, it's
better to shoot first and ask questions later -- so it's not a slam
dunk, but when you think about it, Scribe could actually be an awesome
name for a little Honeycomb tablet. Only question is, are we going to
see this stuff next week at CES or in February at MWC?
