just to say that apple are apparently being sued about their iPhone.

5-6 years ago a company registered and copyrighted the name "iPhone" and the phone itself and apple have been trying to buy them out for years now, but apple have gone ahead and used the name so they're being sued over it.

thats what I've heard anyway

[bÆko]

i want one plz.

[α∂αмяoss]

I want one too. They look amazing!

[damir_zg]

who wouldnt like one?
its great

[α∂αмяoss]

The interface sorta reminds me of Window Vista's as it's all nice, black and elegant. I gotta get one for my b-day!

[Matheus]

looks a little big for a phone
I like small stuff
apple did some mistakes on the design of this product
too many rounded corners for my tastes

That company was Cisco Systems I believe. I bet they will sue them for a reasonable amount and end up giving apple the name. I would love it if I could afford the iPhone, but I can't :-(

Where do you think Windows gets it's design ideas?

Most stuff you see on any version of Windows was already done on Mac 1-2 years before.

Im just disappointed they won't allow any third party applications on it.


LAME

[syntex]

Its pretty much a Mac in a fone format lol?
After all it is running on Mac OS
Nevertheless an awesome piece of technology but i just upgraded to a Sony Ericsson k800i

This phone is mainly for business and/or commuters who use public transport frequently or are away on business a lot imo because of the little but amzingly helpful feature to merge calls is great.

Even though it is an iPod aswell, it's still mainly for the older audience and the more mature teens imo.

But all in all its a great phone

...sigh

Of course it's just another product. A company isn't exist to sit around and provide one product that never changes. Everything any corporation does is for money and Apple wants a share of the PDA/Phone market (in this case its (PDA/Phone/MP3 Player).

Personally I am anxious to see if the OS is better than Windows mobile Pocket PC OS.

Yes this is correct.

Cicso the company who owns Linksys is sueing Apple. Cicso created and copyrighted a phone called the iphone awhile back (199x something) There was a news article, i'll find it for ya.

The iPhone doesn't look very good, I don't think it will be as big of hit as the iPod.

I think it will be too expensive for what it is. There are alternatives that don't look that good are a little more expensive but heaps more functional.
