Apple Files iPhone Patent

Apple has recently filed for a trademark on the name iPhone via the Far Eastern trademark office.

Apple describes the iPhone as; "handheld and mobile digital electronic devices for the sending and receiving of telephone calls, faxes, electronic mail, and other digital data; MP3 and other digital format audio players."

Apple goes on to say that iPhone could include; "software for the redirection of messages, Internet e-mail, and/or other data to one or more electronic handheld devices from a data store on or associated with a personal computer or a server; and software for the synchronization of data between a remote station or device and a fixed or remote station or device."

Rumours of the iPhone have been around for years and such proof only brings the possible release of such a device nearer.

Other items related to iPhone include the registration of the domain iPhone.org back in 1999, which to this day points to Apple.com.
