Apple Trademarks 'Jam Box'

[MacRumors]

MacOSXRumors notes that Apple has recently (April 18th) filed for trademark on 'Jam Box'

computer hardware; computer software; computer peripherals, namely audio production systems comprised of computer hardware and software for composing, recording, creating, converting, enhancing, processing, amplifying, mixing, manipulating, and playing audio signals

The likely candidate for "Jam Box" is the rumored Asteroid audio box which has been the subject of Apple's recent lawsuits.

Must mean that they are finally getting around to launching the device that spawned so many lawsuits. At least now we'll get to see what Apple was protecting.

goody

Oh boy, this sounds just lovely, i can't wait to see the final product!

 

[Chaszmyr]

And I was just starting to think 'Asteroid' was a clever never-to-be-released product that they worked on and leaked info about on purpose in order to prosecute rumor sites.

 

[PlaceofDis]

much better name than Asteroid, wonder when we will see it, if ever

 

[DPazdanISU]

im predicting that the first people to show up for tomorrow's tiger event get the Jam Box and a guitar with steve jobb's autograph laser engraved

 

[Daveway]

This could be in conjunction with not only "asteroid", but the rumored "megaphone" discussed around MWSF '05.

 

[Freg3000]

Asteroid sounds cool too, but Jam Box gets the point across better.

WWDC is the next big thing coming up, although I don't see how this product would be anywhere near the target audience for a developer's conference.

 

[themacman]

Just hope it comes out soon. Ive been waiting for it forever.

 

[Noiseboy]

Yep, I am in need of one of these. What does it do??? No, just joking I'll be getting one the moment they hit the shelves.

 

[Surreal]

i REALLY want it to have something to do with recording on an ipod.

that would get me going. ...did i just type that? well, it is the truth. recording on an ipod would FORCE me to buy one. o the things i would do.

but i think jam box is a line of product as opposed to a single product. the description seems plural

 

[rosalindavenue]

Trouble

These guys will be filing for an injunction by close of business tomorrow-- big trouble for apple!!

 

[rikers_mailbox]

This could be in conjunction with not only "asteroid", but the rumored "megaphone" discussed around MWSF '05.

mega-what? Is there a thread on that?

Or am I totally gullible, and you are joking around?

EDIT: I found a . I'll say it again... mega-what?

 

[d.perel]

this 'asteroid' thing has taken WAAAY too long to come out anyway...

 

[DTphonehome]

I hear that Welch's plans to sue.

 

[Doctor Q]

I hear that Welch's plans to sue.

Don't forget Roxio Toast with Jam.

 

[SAukland]

That's the Daddy.

He's the one that started all the problems.

 

[runninmac]

That is a much better name then Asteroid. Asteroids name would confuse the general public.

 

[xsnightclub]

I believe that Asteroid was the codename, not the products actual name.

If they used the name Jambox as a codename during development it would be pretty easy to figure out what it was.

 

[swissmann]

I thought asteroid was supposed to be out a long time ago. I wonder why the hold up?

 

[FlyNolJ]

Asteroid was cooler.

The name Asteroid was way cooler. Jam Box sounds like its something straight from the 80s. Asteroid atleast carries the 90s. So what is it, software or the little "iHome" deal?? Don't scream at me, I'm unfamiliar. Weeeeeeee...............

 

[Neuro]

Jam Box???.....

Hahahahahaha!

Sounds very...ahem...'feminine' to me....

 

[Chaszmyr]

much better name than Asteroid, wonder when we will see it, if ever

Asteroid was never anything more than a codename

 

[biohazard6969]

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IT DOES?

 

[Oryan]

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IT DOES?

I don't think so... but I suppose that it is probably related to Asteroid.
