HTC filed a trademark in Europe for the word ‘Sensation’, leading many to believe that HTC is developing a skin for its rumored Android tablet. The name “Sensation” is similar to HTC’s popular Sense UI and could be an alternative name used to differentiate its tablet line from its smartphone line. The trademark filing lists the following devices targeted for this name:
Mobile phones, smartphones, wireless phones, wireless devices, portable computers and personal digital assistants, computer hardware and software for mobile, portable and wireless devices; user interface software; computer hardware and software for user interfacing, telecommunications and telecommunications services; computer hardware and software for transmitting and receiving voice, image, data, audio, video and multimedia content; wireless modems; headsets, headsets with wireless transmission function, connection cables, cradles, mounts, face plates, batteries, power adaptors, chargers, cases, in-vehicle chargers, in-vehicle holders, remote controls, keyboards, microphones, loudspeakers, leather pouches for mobile phones.
While it is not a confirmation that HTC is re-working Sense UI for tablets, we do know from HTC’s recent earnings conference call that the Taiwanese manufacturer is working on an Android tablet. Rumored to be codenamed the Flyer, HTC’s tablet may debut as early as March 2011
