Could Hewlett-Packard trump the iPad?

With Windows 8 general release due on October 26, it's a good opportunity to take a look at the competition coming down the pike.

In this case, from Apple's Silicon Valley neighbor, HP. It took way too long -- Apple announced the iPad in 2010 -- but HP now has a real iPad alternative -- the Envy x2. Or, put another way, should I think about swapping my iPad for the x2? Personal musings aside, HP has a different design philosophy from Apple -- so it's not simply a question (for me at least) of which device is better spec for spec.

For the second time in two months, Apple has disputed ownership of a domain associated with one of its products.

The company has filed a claim for the ipad3.com domain with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), a United Nations agency that arbitrates domain disputes.

The domain, which is inactive, was registered in January 2010 on the same day that then CEO-Steve Jobs introduced the first iPad at an Apple-hosted event in San Francisco. Domain Name Wire first reported Apple's claim on Friday.

According to a recent report at Patently Apple, China’s telecommunications bureaucracy last week granted a license for both 4G and 3G networks, which means Apple will be able to sell the latest iPad model on the mainland.

According to China’s Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center website, the license was issued for the Apple device on Monday. Without it, the company couldn’t legally sell the new iPad in the Chinese mainland.
