Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL) Requests Patent For iPod Phone Combo
Apple Computer Inc. has asked for a patent to protect a planned device combining a mobile phone with its iPod music player, according to reports Thursday.
With the public revelation of the patent application, which was filed in August, Cupertino-based Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL - News) fueled expectations that it may soon may sell a so-called iPhone.
Analysts have expected CEO Steve Jobs to branch out into an iPod-related line, capitalizing on the device's intense popularity, and speculated recently that an iPod may be in the works that merges a phone and adds up to $1.5 billion to the company's annual sales.
