Unsolved mysteries :/

January 10, 2007 · 5 Comments

The confusion behind the trademark thingy is turning out to be interesting or rather more confusing. A quick google search only helped to add to this pool of confusion. Found a site which says that the trademark belongs to apple, another one which says that it belongs to CISCO, plenty of others which gives related and different stories.

Ahh..I see, this is the perfect setup for yet another classic trademark war. With a speculated number of 11 million iphones( or aphones) hitting the streets by the end of 2008, I guess Apple wouldn’t mind spending some $$$ to buy a simple (i).

Anyways, I was just wondering how cool/uncool it would be if apple has to settle for the name (a)phone.

DISCLAIMER :

All the following names are completely from the wild and it’s got nothing to do with anything or anyone.

GS : Holy crap ! I saw the picture of a phone.
Daedalus : Big deal, I saw the video of a phone.
Tux : Really ! wow ..That’so extreme.
BT : huh ? Guys do you live in information age :/

The list is long and it doesn’t seem to stop anywhere in the near future. After imac, itunes , ipod, isquint ibla ibla ibla …. apple has once again come up with cool innovative products iphone and atv. Desktops and portable music seems to have lost it’s charm and now they are positioning themselves in set-top boxes and phone markets.

But, why (a)tv ? What the heck happened to the cute apple(i). ASFIK, itv was the code name for the product but this also turned out to be the largest British broadcasters, independent television. So, dropping of the (i) makes sense here, isn’t it ?

But then, what about the iphone released by cisco ? Why isn’t there any trademark clash between Apple/iphone and Cisco/iphone . I’m a bit lost here, please enlighten me if anyone can unravel the mystery.

Anyways iphone, seems like a cool phone and an Opera browser in it will make it even more cooler. Won’t be hard to port as it runs on OS X. I was never a big apple fan, but still can’t wait to get my hands on this beauty.
