"TOUCHPADZIP", "JETCLOUD" among latest HP trademark filings 39
Since last we checked in with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to see whether HP's filings could tell us something about its future plans, a few more marks have been submitted for review and hopefully registration. Three are already familiar: "Like Nothing Else" and "Works Like Nothing Else," being used in TouchPad ad campaigns, and "webOS Butler" for the setup and other assistance offered to new TouchPad customers.
Two, though, are a bit more interesting. The first is the latest possible product name: TOUCHPADZIP. As with the other such marks (TouchPadGo, TouchPadGeo, etc.), we don't have enough information to be certain to what type of product it refers, but the generic description filed with the USPTO suggests it could be hardware or software. (Wild speculation: could this be some kind of external storage attachment for TouchPads?)
The second proposed trademark is not specific to webOS: JETCLOUD. The description, though, could suggest a webOS offering:
Computer software; computer software that provides real-time, integrated business management intelligence by combining information from various databases and presenting it in an easy-to-understand user interface
This could be many things, even a business information analogue to Synergy, but again, it's just speculation at this point.
We look forward to seeing what HP does with these marks, and to many other webOS-related filings (and products) in the future.

To me Touchpad Zip sounds like a case.
iCloud/JetCloud
iPad/TouchPad
iPhone/Pre3 (screen size and specs)
Can HP come up with ONE innovative concept BEFORE Apple?
J. I-E I know you hate Apple, but without them, HP would have no clue what to do, so with all the hate at Apple at least give them credit for forcing HP to buy palm and keep it alive to stay relevant.
"iPhone/Pre3 (screen size and specs)"
really? lol.
Because icloud and jetcloud both have cloud in it? Or is it because it's a cloud storage/syncing solution? In either case, Apple is not the innovator.
I'll give you the Touchpad specs copy.
iphone/Pre3 is just a trololol grab.
How about we call for some Apple innovation instead of the same device and the same OS every single year?
Damn, I bit. Why are you even here anyway?
Cloud syncing (music, videos, files) native to your OS, without doing anything is a first by Apple when it launches in September.
Pre3 is an iphone knockoff. Larger screen and similar specs. the only difference is that you can buy an iphone, you can't, at least for 2 more months, buy a pre3.
Oh, Apple did not invent OTA updates, there you go, you get me! But hey, HP/Palm does not deliver updates OTA to 95% of their active devices anyway, so who cares.
Palm was working in the Cloud long before Apple even thought about.
Palm had smartphones before Apple did.
There were MP3 players out before Apple.
The list goes on and on.
While Apple may make flashy products they are never the first to do anything
You are just an ****
"Can HP come up with ONE innovative concept BEFORE Apple?"
You mean like over the air (OTA) updates?
That would be a really good one if HP actually did it. Palm did and HP bought them. So... still waiting for one innovation from HP. OHHH Beats Audio! That's it!
Innovations introduced by HPalm 2 years ago:
1. True mobile multitasking
2. User-friendly notifications
3. OTA updates (mentioned below)
4. Synergy (mentioned below)
5. Physical keyboard that feels great
6. Gesture area
7. Inductive charging on mobile devices
There's more but who's got the time!
Last I checked, iOS 5 will have many of these features. Copying is a two-way street, and the highest form of flattery.
Ok, again fanboys....
What has HP done? These are all things done by PALM, I said HP.
A physical Keyboard? now they get credit for inventing keys on a phone?
Yeah, the hardware is a little like iphone, but the software is no where near it.
Wow, both of those names kinda suck.
A wireless HD video out solution! ;)
ZIP = it's a virtually Zero width flex screen.
(stick that all you "it's too heavy! it's thicker than the iPad!" peeps!) :p
I didn't even get a chance to say: 'Yay, an article we won't hear Apple and Sprint on!' :(
SMDH
GlenBeck,
Like your namesake, you're clearly clueless.
iCloud/JetCloud - The cloud has ben around for years. Apple didn't innovate it in any way.
iPad/TouchPad - The iPad was not the first tablet. Not by a longshot.
iPhone/Pre3 - The iPhone was certainly innovative in many ways, but complaining that the Pr3 is the same size? weak sauce.
Some webOS innovations that Apple copied or still hasn't caught up to: Multitasking (iOS still not quite there), non intrusive notifications, cards/stacks, warm embrace of homebrew...
Does Android, Blackberry, WP7 or Palm automatically sync your music library, video library and files on all devices, phone, tablet, and computers, without any additional 3rd party apps? NO to all, Apple will revolutionize this.
iPad is the first SUCCESSFUL tablet. Many people tried to fly, do we give credit to them because they fell off a building and died? no, we credit the Wright Brothers for the first SUCCESSFUL flight.
Great, Webos has great notifications and an awesome multitasking system, AND 1-2% of the market Share! And they can't even put phones out, and when they do they BOMB (See HP Veer).
Wrong. Tablets have been around for a long time. I work at a hospital and every single nurse and Dr. have an Electrovaya Windows Tablet running on a linked system so that every Dr. and nurse can walk around no matter where they are and have up-to-date information on the patient they are talking to. Apple in NO WAY was the first success w/ a Tablet. It just happened to be a brand that was so popular what ever the device was they made ppl bought it because it was made by apple. there is so much room to inovate in this field and i really don't see Apple holding this game for much longer. they barely innovate w/ every product refresh adding few features to sell a "This Years Device". Joshua Topolski even noted how weak their cloud solution was.
Electrovaya? Are you serious. Electrovaya, now that is a household name.
Again, the iPad was the first successful table computing device. How many people you work with take their Electrovaya home and listen to music and surf the web and watch movies with it? It's a piece of equipment for work, not what we are talking about here at all.
LOL... i did! you crack me up dude... I love that your only on this website to blast anybody that's not boasting Apple. I'm assuming you don't have a job, or this is your job, since your on pretty much every post. get a girlfriend dude and get out of the house. your parents i'm sure are sick of your a$$ smellin' up the basement. Peace bro.
Thanks Bro!
Again, I use facts and logic and what do fanboys do when they have lost an argument? Attack me personally. Stay classy!
You claim to use "facts" and "logic" and then completely disregard a rational counterpoint about a different device, the Electrovaya. All you said was, and I'm paraphrasing, "I have not heard of it so it is irrelevant and not made by Apple so it doesn't count".
How do you attach multiple files or a single file to an e-mail? How do you talk in mms and then switch to gchat, and then to skype chat in one conversation pane? How do you receive your updates and backup your iOS device? Whats the first thing you must do on an iOS device before you can even play with it? How is that notification system? How is that multitasking? How is searching for things on and off your device at the same time? How is the really handy number row on your keyboard? How is the ability to legally and easily "tweak and hack" your OWN device? How is using a proprietary cable instead of the almost ubiquitous microUSB? How is holding your phone incorrectly working? How innovative is the iMessage or whatever?
Want me to go on?
Awesome! Agreed! and Tuche'. +1 tmark86
This is correct. I have also been using HP, Gateway, and Toshiba Tablet computers long before the iPad ever came out.
This is just my opinion:
I really hate when someone says for example, "Oh, Apple revolutionized this" or "Android innovated that".
Revelutionized is a term for drastically changing something. Like the iPhone 3G? That phone revelutionized the phone industry. The iPhones after the 3G? Not so mutch.
For the past two years or so, apple has just been adding on to features that may have been there already. This isn`t just apple`s problem either. For the past several years, no OS or OS update has "revelutionized" or "innovated" anything.
Yes, the iPad and iphone are most likely the "first successful phones and tabs out there." But honestly, that may just be because consumers aren`t informed about the other choices out there, and Apple probably has the most marketing power out there. I think the Veer is a great phone, even if it is tiny. And I can`t wait for the PRE3.
I think the people who have had experiences with webOS will definately suggest webOS over iOS or any other OS. Now this isn`t to say that iOS or any other OS aren`t great either. I`ve owned apple and android devices, and i loved them both. My favorite part of apple is it`s stlylish design. I just happen to love webOS more.
Apple, Google, RIM, Microsoft, HP, or any other OS maker havent "revelutionized" anything for years. The question is, when will they start?
@glennbeck you suck at life.
Thanks, that's a really nice thing to say to someone.
@glennbeck you don't seem to have one other than putting down webOS. I tend to agree with the observation
I love webOS. I hate HP and Palm.
I point out realities and it always seems to upset people here in HPfantasyland.
Except, you are not pointing out "realities"...saying the Pre3 is an "iPhone knockoff" is absurd. There are so VERY few similarities between the devices that the only conclusion that can be reached is that you are trolling.
No dude, they're both totally smartphones. and since the iPhone was 'the first successful smartphone', that means the Pre3 is a knockoff.
And if we're all bored by someone coming here and bashing on stuff because it's not Apple, we're all idiots because his arguments 'apple was there first, and where they weren't first they were the first to have success, and if they weren't we'll just define success as whatever Apple did first' cannot be beaten.
TouchPadZip is the new name for the TP when sales figures/ market share reports come out.
OH BRO! I hate you bro! You need to get a job and life!
HP will be #1PLUS! Guess you did not get the memo! Get out of here if you don;t have nice stuff to say!
Thumbs down him guys!
;)
The "reality," whether @GlennBeck wishes to acknowledge it or otherwise, is that without his hated HP stepping in to buy Palm last year, there would be no more webOS other than on slowly-deteriorating and irreplaceable legacy devices.
What has HP done? Invested more than $1 billion (probably closer to $2 billion by now) giving webOS a shot at a real future. {Jonathan}
I agree, which was my original point. You hated on Apple in your podcast and I made the point without Apple launching the iPad, the tablet market would not have exploded... HP sees laptop sales will drop dramatically due to tablet sales. They know they have to do something to try and offset this, so they buy Palm, saving it from death. So, you should be happy Apple is out.
You also ripped on Apple users calling them Sheep or something like that lining up to buy their products. I would say HP users are even worse for (not lining up, because there are no line for their stuff) buying from a company that has lied to their mobile users time after time, can't deliver updates to their products, make hardware that is below par, can't get hardware on the shelves.
Finally, even with HP buying Palm I am still stuck with a slowly-deteriorating and irreplaceable legacy device, a Pre-, that is no longer being updated, and HP has not given my carrier any new hardware now or in the foreseeable future.
I'm guessing Jetcloud is some form of remote printing function like Google's Cloud Print service. After all, most of HP's printers have the word "jet" in the name (LaserJet, OfficeJet).
Wonderful.
