Looking through the US Trademarks and Patents website is often a good way to confirm rumored device names and company initiatives.  If you’ve followed us for a while then you know that Samsung has long been one of the companies who loves to file trademarks for names on a regular basis.  It makes sense when you think about it as they seem to announce a new smartphone, tablet, or media player on a rapid clip.

I noticed a couple of sites referencing some recent Samsung Galaxy trademark applications so I thought I’d poke around a bit.  What I found were a handful of items that all sound like they could the next big smartphone or tablet.  Some are only days old while others have been around a few months.  It’s not clear whether or not these will see the light of day anytime soon, but it’s fun to guess anyways.  It’s also possible that I simply missed coverage of one of these elsewhere.
