Apple earlier filed a trademark for the iPhone in the ‘Far Eastern’ trademark office. Now, information week is reporting two more Apple patents published by U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that support the fact that Apple iPhone might be coming soon. We are quite sure that Apple is working on a touch screen interface for handy devices. The new “Actuating user interface for media player” patent explains that Apple will replace the iPod scroll wheel and that might probably be a touch screen for its rumored iPhone. The second patent filing for “Universal docking station for hand-held electronic devices” speaks the story itself. While Apple iPod dock supports iPods fully, why will Apple need a Universal dock with speakers. Might be for its iPhone.

It just seems to me that Apple is looking for alternatives, to remain in the limelight as well as market, especially after the much talked about Zune player by Microsoft on the horizon……….
I don’t think, with so many companies already in the fray, the new field will be the bed of roses for Apple????????????
Naresh u buffoon! iPod beats every other mp3 player black n blue! including Zune!
