i TOLD YOU PEOPLE, if apple wanted the name, THEY WOULD GET THE NAME (see also: igg software and iWork)
I knew that the Cisco trademark was not finalized, and Apple may still be able to use the name if it wanted. .
Apple TV Apple Phone Apple Macintosh Apple Home
etc.
Second, this device REQUIRES an HDTV!? I can't use it with my regular NICAM/NTSC TV? WTF!!?
Third, still waiting for an iTunes store here, and thinking it'll never come...
So, no, HDTV is not required.
As for the Beatles issue. It seems that Apple walked away with a lot from their legal dispute with Apple Music. Being able to simply use just "Apple" is huge.
