HTC filed two trademarks this week in order to protect the name of an upcoming tablet. Presumed to be the company’s first entry into the tablet PC space, HTC has trademarked “HTC Scribe” and “Scribe.” According to the description found on each filing, the HTC Scribe will be a “handheld wireless device, namely, a tablet computer.” HTC is expected to launch at least one tablet in early 2011, and it reportedly run the upcoming tablet-optimized version of Google’s Android operating system — Honeycomb. Other rumored specs include the NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor, 2GB of internal memory, microSDHC support and a 1280 x 720-pixel touchscreen display. HTC has not yet confirmed that it is working on a tablet product, having stated only that the company is evaluating the tablet PC market. Hit the break for more details on HTC’s new trademarks.

    Judging by the logos, it looks like “scribe” will allow for pen input on the tablet which is interesting given that it’s one of the few things that iOS hasn’t/can’t do at all. Speaking as someone who still believes in the stylus for some operations it could be a very interesting development even if it only prompts Apple to add proper stylus support to iOS devices (if they can).

    I hope it’s a winner. Just like I hope the Blackberry Playbook, Microsoft Slate, Samsung Galaxy Pad, and others are winners too. When we have good products coming out, then Apple won’t create a monopoly by telling us what we need.
    I like the Ipad, but there are a lot of new devices coming with better specs. Just hope they can all get the apps we need. Apple has a big head start in the app area.

    this is good not only for many of us apple haters but this is also extremely important to apple fans as well. The more quality products fill the market the more apple is forced to actually innovate. When apple gets a monopoly, there products only evolve at the rate at which people buy them. Look at the ipad, apple intentionally put out a product lacking many features because they knew there were no other products to challenge them for sales at the time. Then apple can slowly add features and try to get early adopters to upgrade. The worst thing for both apple fans and haters is for apple to create a monopoly on anything.
