Apple Files for “Mobile Me” Trademark

Apple has filed an application to trademark the phrase “Mobile Me”, a moniker that could apply to a wide range of Apple’s products.

“We believe this is further indication of (Apple’s) strategic direction to extend its iPod + iTunes and Mac franchises into new business areas including smart phones, value-added mobile content services, and the broader consumer electronics space,” American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu wrote in a note on Thursday.

Don't mess with my head, Apple.

That's what happens when one's country has approximately one million lawyers, all trying to find work...or creating it if they can't find it.
