Apple ® Says NO to the gPod

Ichiro Kameda, a Japanese based businessman, has joined the ranks of those getting not-so-fun letters from Apple ®. There was quite a bit of hub-bub last year about Apple ® launching their own gPod but so far that hasn't seemed to surface in the marketplace.

However, Mr. Kameda's device is, uh, um of a sexual nature and even passed through the USPTO's research process so we'll see how successful Apple is with their latest bout.

I wonder if people are associating POD names with Apple because the brand is so well-known OR because of all the press about the company threatening legal action against the random POD's 'round the world. Hmm…
