Yes, Apple Did Buy the iCloud.com Domain

so, it’s the record price for a domain this year

This is kind of weak as an Apple brand name. Apple isn’t usually big on promoting the technology ahead of the utility. In a few years, a brand like “iCloud” will sound as quaint as a company touting that it’s got a website.

iWeb and iDVD are similar.

And so far their cloud has been named iTools and MobileMe and although there is a lot to recommend in those services, they haven’t set the world on fire. Even non-technical people tend to understand the cloud concept, it’s communicative.

But they may not be buying it to use it. They may just want to keep someone else from using it in a way that would confuse consumers. Like they did with iSlate.

yeah…just like iPhone. how quaint.

Wow, I wonder what OrangeJuice.com will go for?

My friend has it in a no-reserve auction. Register by May 21st,

Go to OrangeJuice.com if you’re interested to see what a really good domain might go for!!!
