Apple Trademarks 'iPod Hi-Fi' and 'iPod Boombox'
Appleinsider notes that Apple has filed for trademarks for two new phrases with the Hong Kong Trademark office. These include:
iPod Hi-Fi - filed on September 20, 2005. Trademark description mirrored here
iPod Boombox - filed June 13, 2005. Trademark description is mirrored here.
Both products are classified in broad categories of computers, hardware, peripherals, etc... Appleinsider had previously claimed that an iPod Boombox and other iPod companion products were due from Apple at Macworld San Francisco. While the date may not have been accurate, these trademarks suggest these products are under consideration by Apple.

Yeah, I'm thinking this might have something to do with satellite radio. Or, in the case of iPod Hi-Fi, perhaps the "high fidelity" refers to better quality tunes, i.e. Apple lossless tunes off iTMS. And then a larger capacity iPod to make room for the resulting larger file sizes... ;)
