My guess: Voice Integrated gaming and leisure entertainment
With ‘Vingle,’ Apple Looks to Branch Way Out — Uh, my other best guess is a Skype — Gizmo — Yahoo Voice dealio. But we can also play “guess the acronym!”
According to the filings, Vingle is, well, let’s just give you the company’s language, because it’s pretty sprawling in its scope.
Vingle will or could comprise: “Telecommunication services, namely, electronic transmission of streamed and downloadable audio and video files via computer and other communications networks; providing on-line chat rooms, bulletin boards and community forums for the transmission of messages among computer users concerning entertainment, music, concerts, videos, radio, television, film, news, sports, games and cultural events; web casting services; delivery of messages by electronic transmission; provision of connectivity services and access to electronic communications networks, for transmission or reception of audio, video or multimedia content . . . ” and so on, including search engines and a global network.
John,
or it could be a shot at Intel which has it’s own new “Vi..” trademark. Think about it.

I’d guess an online portal to use with your online enabled iPod. And you thought you bought your last one…
Or, as the Apple Nazi’s will claim, the reason the Internet was invented in the first place.
I’m leaning against voice enabled anything because Microsoft is ahead of everyone on this, and they’re putting it out there that they need more hardware power (specifically, a CPU at the point of reception) to get to the point where a device can derive context from a statement.
The first thing that I thought of seemed obvious. Video-single. ?
