Then go patent it, you don't need any working models for patents, just an idea, and bam you're in the clear.

Also I don't think Apple would be buying another developers product to rebadge and market on their own. They've got teams of engineers that design these things, and frankly Apple's done a good job thus far and I don't think they'd be looking into designs from 3rd parties.

Also, while you may have a design down pat, would all the electronics actually fit within the casing that you've designed?

Since when can a graphic design be patented? That's like patenting a picture. Trademark yes, patent no.

actually, i was wondering about that as well... i called the us patent office and they told me that a patent would be most appropriate

Of course they would tell you that! It's like $10000 to apply for one and that's just APPLYING. You still have to pay renewal fees and theres no guarantee that they would even give you a patent!

copyright, not trademark... trademark is for a name
