But with a big, clever marketing campaign I'm sure HP can get the TouchPad out there and stop confusion between the two.

The manufacturers are at least partly to blame though.
How many tablets were there before the iPad? I can't even think of one. Then Apple finally confirm they're bringing it out, and suddenly their rivals are clamouring to release their own models.
HP isn't doing itself any favours by using the word 'Pad' in the product title either - at least Xoom is a unique brand.
