Is that the logo they sued for or thats the logo they changed because of the sue?
But isn't Apple's logo the COLORED APPLE? Are you saying the color or the patterns inside the apple does not matter, but its the shape of the apple that matters?
Don't worry - they have also protected they modern version - a company can protect more than just one logo (but the shape alone might be good enough for legal protection)
Search for iCloud from 1/1/2008 to 12/31/2010 and you will found countless references to Xcerion's iCloud. This includes Crunchbase, Lifehacker, PCWorld, Youtube, CNet, and Geek.com articles. (And literally thousands more). It is much more likely the only reason Xcerion did not sue iCloud communications is because they never heard of them, not the other way around.
Xcerion created both iPhone and Android apps using the name. (The link for the App even goes to icloud.com, which Apple now owns).
This suit is bogus. iCloud communications is silly.

after viewing the icloud communications website, I think they should go hide under a rock, I cannot see how they are a very profitable company, the site is so poorly done.
My guess they think they have a case now the name has money, shame they did not go after the original iCloud.com name, surely this will work against them.

They couldn't. iCloud.Com was a widely publicized service protected by a properly registered trademark. (See my previous post). This whole thing is absurd.
They could have sued in 2007 or 2008 or 2009 or 2010 when doing a simple google search on their name would have popped up articles in major tech publications about the company that legally registered the Trademark...

I don't see anyway that apple is going to lose this fight.

How come apple does not have any booth girls? I've never seen any pretty girls on their events.
For the next event they should have something like this lined up along the stage while Steve presents iPad 3
and each girl holding an iPad 3 in their hand!!!
That would be so awesome

Because Apple followers don't like girls, they love Steve.
Apple bought the rights to the iCloud name from Xcerion (the company that actively used the name nationally and internationally). They also acquired the domain name from them.
What are you talking about. iCloud logo is nothing new. It comes from MobileMe Logo.

In other news, Apple buys small VoIP company, shuts it down and stock holder of said company the whole 10 of them rejoicing to finally see money.
And let us not forget they are a real company with real cloud computing products.

Because they have real products "that just work" I had to say it. If you put hot girls in place of products then no one really cares about the product I know I would not. Girls rock, but Apple products last longer in my hands.
I can imagine putting lots of very hot girls holding iphones in their hands making preaty posses and looking like they are talking to each other...
sorry I just lost my self what exactly was I talking about, oh never mind be back in a while. I disagree to an extent. Everyone is calling it "the cloud" because that is what it is. The technology/method is called cloud. Apple likes to name their products in a way that tells you what they do so you don't have to guess which app does what. iPhoto deals with photos, iTunes deals with tunes, the iPhone is a phone, iMovie lets you make movies, etc. Calling this anything but iCloud would be inconsistent. It is a boring name perhaps, but it is exactly how Apple wants to brand things.
Just look at Apple's old logo (this being Pride Month), and think about why Apple doesn't have female booth babes.
