With rumours of the iPod Video high this may simply be a coincidence or a case of Apple protecting itself but on June 18, 2005 Apple Computer filed changes to its iPod Trademark;

“full line of electronic and mechanical accessories and computer software for portable and handheld digital electronic devices for recording, organizing, transmitting, manipulating, and reviewing text, data, audio, image, and video files”

“all for use with portable and handheld digital electronic devices for recording, organizing, transmitting, manipulating, and reviewing text, data, audio, image, and video files in Class 9″

The previous trademark filed in October of 2001 stated;

“Portable and handheld digital electronic devices for recording, organizing, transmitting, manipulating, and reviewing text, data, and audio files”
