Apple files for iPhone trademark
Posted in Rumors, iPod by The Macalope at 2:38 pm |

AppleInsider reports that Apple has filed for a trademark on “iPhone.”

The filing, made last month with a Far Eastern trademark office, is the latest in a long list of incontrovertible evidence to suggest the Cupertino, Calif.-based iPod maker is in the final developmental stages of the project, which is expected to merge traditional cellular capabilities with an iPod digital music player.

“Incontrovertible!”

“You keep using that word.  I do not think that it means what you think it means.”

(What is it with the movie quotes today?  Beats the Macalope.)

Now, the Macalope believes in the iPhone, but “incontrovertible”?

Like everyone else putting up with stupid cellphones, iWantToBelieve.

Maybe “iNcontrovertible” is the actual name for the iPhone, and this is where Apple finally jumps the shark?

Yes, the evidence may be incontrovertible, but the conclusions you may draw from it are not.

In any event, the evidence really isn’t incontrovertible until we actually see said trademark filing with whatever “Far Eastern” trademark office it was actually filed with.
