schema.org: Brand of a Product an Organization?

We like to use HTML5 microdata in a website. But we are kind of puzzled how to apply the brand to our products. According to http://schema.org/Product, the brand is an Organization.

An example: If the iPhone is a brand of Apple Inc, how do I apply this to a iPhone 3GS product page?

Edit: I saw several examples providing a simple String as the brand, e.g. http://www.affiliatetuts.com/general/adding-microdata-to-your-markup/. Is that valid?

On the ability to include strings instead of full inline descriptions, see http://schema.org/docs/datamodel.html

"While we would like all the markup we get to follow the schema, in practice, we expect a lot of data that does not. We expect schema.org properties to be used with new types. We also expect that often, where we expect a property value of type Person, Place, Organization or some other subClassOf Thing, we will get a text string. In the spirit of "some data is better than none", we will accept this markup and do the best we can."
