This is especially often the case with product brand names (cars, gadgets etc.), but it is done with domain names as well. For example, the ipod.com, iphone.com, imac.com, macbookpro.com domains are not used in Apple’s marketing, but they are all owned by Apple and redirect to the appropriate product. This is called brand protection, and there are companies who sell such services. Apple is a client of MarkMonitor Brand Protection™ (http://markmonitor.com). The point I’m trying to make is that Apple isn’t necessarily going to use the name.

BTW, the same seller also has iCloudOS.com, coincidence?

If there is a name for Apple’s cloud service, iCloud is very likely to be it. Currently Apple’s content streaming service is limited to iTunes and Apple TV only, it’s reasonable for Apple to extend to all mobile devices as well.

Nothing cuts through the social chatter and noise like brand that emotes. And Apple’s surely does.

If that is their product direction, the price for the name is a bargain.

When it’s Apple, you kind of expect this. It’s part of their branding which is pretty clever and effective.
