A reader sent in this interesting trademark recently filed for by XM Satellite Radio and it raises a ton of questions - none of which I think can be answered right now. But here's the filing anyway:

Now, the first thing that comes to mind is the upcoming XM Video Player - but then again, why would you use a term that almost certainly is short for pictures? The next thought is that this is a service that shows popular music - like "XM Picks" but with a funny "X" spelling. Only, the filing certainly says it's a satellite radio receiver. So the next thought is.... well, I have no next thought. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks candlebougie!
