Apple Trademarks iCalc
MacOSXRumors notes that Apple has trademarked the word "iCalc" under the category of Computer Software.
The trademark application was filed on March 28th 2005.
The rumor site speculates on a possible spreadsheet application, but it may also be an alternative name to the previously trademarked 'Graphulator'.

iCalc? What a horrible name. Especially since it's really close to iCal.

It looked like iChalk to me on my first glance.
Actually, Chalk would be a better name than iCalc. Anything would!

So what does the "i" signify? Some sort of sharing of data?
I always thought iDVD was misnamed. iTunes makes sense, iPhoto makes sense, iMovie is starting to push it, but iDVD made no sense to me unless Apple has changed "i" to mean "integrated" rather than "internet."
And then they went and did GarageBand. :confused:

I don't think it would be used for a spreadsheet application because of the names of the applications currently in iWork. Neither Pages nor Keynote have the "i" used in their name. I would think they would try to keep the names all similar in some way and iCalc wouldn't be similar to the other two. Maybe it's for a new calculator or something, or maybe it's for nothing at all.

I don't care for the name that much either, but it always nice when apple comes out with new software, especially when they fill a need that is not being met, or do it better :cool:

Maybe its more like iCaulk, as in the junk you put on tile and what not. You heard it here first, Apple is moving into the construction/home improvement arena.

Text in Excel is really bad readable on Mac, also Word. Or I'm I the only one that noticed that? That's why I really hope it's an Apple Spreadsheet!

I thought Graphulator was kinda cool. Oh well, so long as the graphing calulcator returns in OS X and brings its friends: Dictionary and Thesaurus . . .
