Yay! More gimmicks. Are they also going to buy "Swangy" and "Crantastic" from Ocean Spray?
You make me sick.

It's sounds fun when you sing it: V I N G L, V I N G L (like bingo), of course you have to leave out the e
vingle bells vingle bells, vingle all the way!
i think they made it to sound like jingle, which is also i hideous word, mind you tho, if you add it into a xmas song like i did in the subject line, it can sound like your advertising xmas viagra,
do apple realise this
i can understand them for making the i...... words a trade mark like iMac iTunes etc , as this allows every1 to know that this is an apple product, if they wanted it to be related to apple they should have at lease called it
iVingle
which sounds less like viagra and more like, personal video jingles, which would be very cool, id copy right that myself if apple hadnt already brought out the i..... rights and now with the vingle righs i cant even sell my song either, shame

Who says it has to be a "video" single? Apple's been around a while, they appreciate nostalgia...I say it's a vinyl single.
a little tune for all...
(to the tune of: cathc a falling star, by perry como)
catch a falling vingle,
put it in your pocket never let it fade away,

Yes I agree. Even their recent line of apps that have avoided the "i" name have made complete sense (I'm thinking of GarageBand, Keynote, Pages, PhotoBooth, Front Row...etc) they make sense!! You can take a dam good stab at what those apps do!super mini (mac said:
Mind you, what did people think of "AltiVec" when it came out?? If you just heard the name, you'd be confused at that too. Just as an example!
(I originally thought iCal was a calculator years ago when I saw the name of it on a Mac screen!)
It's probably something quite cool and easy once we know!
Oh, dear, I have the feeling "Vingle" is going to pop up in EVERY rumor thread from now until our bloated, dying sun swallows the Earth. We'll be on our knees BEGGING for a return of the "PBG5 on Tuesday!" posts.
(Ray of hope: Apple does trademark things "just in case" that they never end up really using. Like Junkyard and ipodcast.)
Now, to add to the mystery. VINGLE = :

G N VILE
GLEN IV

VEIN LG
VEGINL

GILE, NV

it would be difficult to drag a windows pieeeeece of donky plop off a desk and fit it into a bin un less its one of those industrial sized wheelie bins, then we might stand a chance. if they knew what a mac mini was theyd lean that small is better and lighter 2
good job they fitted k-lock slots on the backs , dont want some windows scally pinchin my mac mini lol

And imagine all the business users with PDAs saying each other they need to get new Apple Vingle.. Actually need to get a new PDA myself to replace my old trusty Palm T3, why not to go with the vingle!
Don't think so, not such a good name for a product. I really don't want them to use it anywhere..

i love my t3, mind you i basicly use it with my tom tom now for navigation and for salling clicker, nd note pad. thats it its really under used, dont want to sell it tho
lol

I think if they offered that kind of power...ahem, particularly in a laptop...I would be willing to buy off on the name Vingle in return.

Yeah, I was kidding, I really wouldn't change my T3 for anything. I just need it so much, all the stuff in calender, memo, recorder and all. All I need is to get a WiFi card. They are just so damn expensive. Would love an Apple PDA thought! With 802.11n wifi and all... Maybe in future far, far away
Did you try the new salling clicker 3.0? It's really neat with the tiger like UI.
redAPPLE said:not because you cannot pronounce it, that it means it is a new low
because Apple used rendezvous wrongly, they had to choose another one, which "sounds" the same or would identify with "rendezvous".
bonjour = i think it means "good day" or "good morning" (correct me if i am wrong)
Bonjour does mean "good day" literally, though it is used the way we use "hello". And i can pronounce it just fine, I've taken 2 years of French thank you very much
salling
sorry i didnt ralise the pun lol.
i havent tried salling 3 as yet, ive been using 2.0, actually i had to do a hard reset because on sat nav it kept turning off after 3 ins and i couldnt work out why, so i havent got round to reinstalling salling back on the pda, every time i get chance i always forget lol.

vingle = dodgy adverts will definatly happen
i dont buy it, sounds dorkey lol.
can you imagiane talkin to your mates and saying " hey (fill the gap with friends name) ! i have a new vingle, you realy must get one!!!!"
realy can you imagiane saying anything like that how ever " hey (name) BOB! i have the new ipod, you really must get one!!!" and then on a conversation could be sewed from that, but Vingle sounds like a dodgy walkers crisps advert, mind you with a name like that gary lineker could quite happily pinch it and i wouldnt bother stopping him.
