News Apple in trouble over 'iPhone' brand

Icom is a major radio equipment manufacturer. Don't think they'd like that name at all.

 

Apple should've saw this coming, Cisco put out their iPhones a long time ago.

 

Apple forced some poor arcade machine security company to change the name of their money pod or whatever it was ( a story on here months ago). saying that they own the rights to anything with "pod" in the name. Now they are claiming that ciscos lawsuit is silly when Cisco last year launched a phone under the Lyncsys name called iPhone.

I hope it costs Apple loads, recently apple have started to think that they are the kings of technology, all because they managed to sell a few mp3 players.

 

How about the iPenis?

 

say someone were to make an airplane car then add a docking station called the idock. Apple would sue the **** out of them. For them to call it silly when we all know they would do the same is flat out retarded

 

Couldn't agree more. Apple users have always considered themselves special and they truly are different.

Lately, I like Microsoft more than Apple. MS at least has a right to act like the king of technology (percentage of market). I'm sure theres some odd lawsuits from MS but at least in MS lawsuits theres more than just a bunch of lawyers screaming "Were Apple! iPhone will sound so cool on our product!"

iCan'tbebothered.

It's an mp3 phone.

But look, it's got a touchscreen and an Apple logo!

Obviously, it is worth three times the usual price for a similar device.

QFT! :thumb

 

Cisco may have already lost the trademark. Oops.

 

I like iCom (despite hating the iPrefix)

 

Looks like they have renamed the phone to "iTouch Mobile". Since the orginal news site requires you to register, I havn't confirmed this, but it seems very likely.

Apple Renames iPhone to "iTouch Mobile"

 

and if you read that site they say just below that it is a fake

Cool, thanks. Like I said, I wasn't registering for the site, but figured it could be fake since I didn't see the news anywhere else today.
