HTC Scribe turns up in US trademark filings, could be a tablet

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 ?
