Apple files for ''Aloha'' trademark
Apple has filed for the trademark Aloha which relates to portable digital electronic devices and software related thereto.

What could this trademark be for? Aloha has a similar ring to it as Rendezvous/Bonjour (Apple's hassle free networking stuff). As the trademark states it could be software related and we're going to hazard a guess that Aloha will be some kind of communication protocol; Aloha means both Hello and Goodbye it would be fitting for a handheld device discovery protocol. Is this related at all?

Huh. I didn't think you could actually trademark a word.

They aren't trademarking the word, they are trademarking the word in relation to portable digital electronic devices and software related thereto

Well, Bonjour and Aloha seem in the same ballpark...
What's next, Hola?
