Here's an experience of another startup I read about that fought with Apple over their name:
"Our first contact with Apple was via litigation initiated on their part regarding our company name, SeeqPod. Apple claimed trademark infringement based on the characters ‘p’, ‘o’ and ‘d’, making up ‘pod’ in our name SeeqPod. This lasted for about 6 months after which we both decided to walk away from any further litigation in this area."
