Speculation: Apple to Jump into Location Business Soon
In prior blog entries, we’ve noted some applications of mapping for the iPod, in which Apple Computer was not too happy. Now, today comes word from Reuters that Apple filed for a trademark for "Mobile Me" a mark to cover a variety of "computing" and "mobile" devices. It wasn’t long ago that Microsoft moved their MapPoint Group into their mobility division. Is Apple positioning to do the same? Will it be long before we see "MacIntosh Maps" or "iPod POIs"? Cupertino is just down the street from Mountain View. I wonder if Steve Jobs needs directions to Google.
