[SGVLUG] Android on the HP Touchpad

[Braydon]

"You can take this innovation game even further and look at the patent 
space. HP filed 2 patent applications with the U.S. PTO this week, IBM 
filed 44 and Samsung filed 98. On an average week, Samsung is filing for 
130 new patents every week, IBM for about 120 and HP for about 15. "

130 new patent applications a week....
