Question What is this app (shown in Touchpad press pic)?

Looking at this picture on the front page (from the Touchpad QuickSpecs article) what is the app on the second row, first on the left? I haven't seen that icon before does anyone know?

It's a RSS reader - the image is also shown bigger here:

I could be wrong (it happened once) but I believe that is Memos.

Memos and contacts are 3rd and 4th on the 2nd row respectively so it can't be them. I believe the software manager would look very similar to the app catalog which is 5th on the 1st row...

The icon seems to be a white "diamond" with orange bottom quarter. The name is 6-7 characters.

I agree looks quite a lot like a newspaper btw...

I think its one of the magazine apps that they showed at the announcement event. Someone will watch the youtube videos and review all the pictures of the screen behind the presenter and figure it out eventually. But it's definitely not the software manager or the contacts app.

My guess is a magazine.

Wow can't believe I found it!

HP TouchPad is being teased as "coming soon" on Best Buy's web site - Phone Arena

Looks like we do have an RSS reader on the way...?

about a third of webOS apps in the catalog use that little RSS symbol... even stuff like Dr Podder.
