“Apple Computer last week asked the United States Patent and Trademark Office to grant it a trademark on the term ‘Mobile Me,'” Katie Marsal reports for AppleInsider. “On January 5th, the company made four separate filings on the term, covering a broad range of technologies and services.”
Marsal reports that the first filing describes Mobile Me as a computing device, the second filing covers the digital audio space, the third filing relates Mobile Me to a consumer electronics portable device, and the fourth covers Mobile Me as telecommunication services.
Full article with descriptions of the four separate filings here.

It has to be just a matter of time, before apple gets in on the mobile game. with the switch to intel most probably holding them up. but im sure they have designs already. i really beleive apple is going to introduce a pda yype device that is going to blow people away.
on a side note though, who likes the design of the macbook pro? i think they sholdve gone with black, and sharper edges to it. but i think ill have to wait until i see one in the flesh. as its hard to gauge on screen. just not blown away by it. and i was expecting to be blown away. put it this way, when i first saw it, there wasnt a ‘ im getting one of these come hell or high water’ thoughts, liek there was when i first saw the G5, of even the imac lamp model. it jut doesnt push the boundaries.
i guess i just like to be blowed.
