On October 7th, Apple trademarked the term “Vingle” at the U.S. Patents and Trademarks Office. Included in the trademark is the logo at right (exciting, isn't it?). It reads:
“Telecommunication services, namely, electronic transmission of streamed and downloadable audio and video files via computer and other communications networks; providing on-line chat rooms, bulletin boards and community forums for the transmission of messages among computer users concerning entertainment, music, concerts, videos, radio, television, film, news, sports, games and cultural events; web casting services; delivery of messages by electronic transmission; provision of connectivity services and access to electronic communications networks, for transmission or reception of audio, video or multimedia content.”
I imagine a merging of "video" and "single" is the obvious origin of the term, but I'm intrigued by the section that reads, "...on-line chat rooms, bulletin boards and community forums for the transmission of messages among computer users concerning entertainment, music..." etc. What's that all about?
I also wonder what that means. Any ideas?
