According to PocketNow, Hewlett Packard has filed for trademarks for the Palm Gyst, Palm Myte and Palm Veer. This is the first we’ve heard of these names and they certainly could be upcoming phones slated for 2011. The marks cover:
“Computers; computer hardware; computer software; computer peripherals; computer and communications networking hardware and software; computer hardware, namely memory cards; computer hardware for telecommunications; computer monitors; computer keyboards; mobile digital electronic devices; mobile computers; handheld computers; portable computers; tablet computers; personal digital assistants; electronic organizers, electronic notepads; computer memories; telephones; mobile telephones; pagers; smartphones, videophones; mobile and handheld communications devices for sending and receiving data, information and other digital content, including audio and video content, namely handheld computers, mobile phones and smartphones; photographic and video cameras; audio players; video players; multimedia players; computer communications software; computer software, namely, prerecorded computer programs for personal information management, database management software, character recognition software, telecommunications software, telephony management software, electronic mail and messaging software, paging software, database synchronization software, computer programs for accessing, browsing and searching online databases; computer game programs; video game software; downloadable computer and video games; downloadable music, audio, video and entertainment related content; computer carrying cases; accessories, parts and cases for all the foregoing sold as a unit; instruction manuals in electronic form supplied with the foregoing sold as a unit; apparatus for recording, transmission or reproduction of data, text, graphics, sound or images; blank magnetic data carriers; prerecorded magnetic data carriers featuring software for use in connection with handheld communications devices, namely, mobile phones and smartphones; calculating machines, data processing equipment.”
We had previously seen mentions of Broadway, Windsor, Mantaray and Stingray, but those were likely code names. Now if Mr.Blurrycam® will just pay a visit to these three, we’ll have a better of idea of what’s coming in 2011 and what we might see announced at CES.
Bring em on!
Worst product names ever.
If I get awesome new smartphone hardware, I don’t care what they’re named. New phones. Now. Please.

Have fun!
I like the names. They get that kind of “Roman alphabet” look when they’re spelled out like they are in that image.
Who knows? Nobody liked the title ‘Batman Begins’ when it was announced, but after the movie came out, it really worked.
These names sucks, not to mention there is not a single shred of evidence they have anything to do with smartphones. Just more grasping at straws if you ask me. Show new hardware, otherwise what is the point.
