Several years ago Apple entered the Music market with the iPod and iTunes. Last year, Apple entered the Phone market with the iPhone. Ars Technica is reporting that Apple has applied for a trademark extension relating to gaming. Apple has attempted to enter this market with the Pippin and failed miserably. Many rumors have been floating around the web and here at Appletell of Apple to announce new products. Though previously failed, the same happened with the Newton, then came the iPhone and the computer, then when Steve Jobs returned to Apple, the Macintosh returned. Apple has also recently developed games for the iPods which can be bought from the iTunes Store.
The trademark filling seeks to extend the “APPLE”, trade to cover “Toys, games and playthings, namely, hand-held units for playing electronic games; hand-held units for playing video games; stand alone video game machines; electronic games other than those adapted for use with television receivers only; LCD game machines; electronic educational game machines; toys, namely battery-powered computer games.” With the Apple TV and the iTouch as a remote, Apple could create an amazing gaming machine/platform. Have they already and will we see it later this month? Or is this just another rumor?
