and Cisco did not really acquire the entire patent to such a degree so that they maintain a strong foothold on the name “iPhone”. there are still some weaknesses apple will exploit.

also note that they are not using iTV but Apple-TV as the name of their media-device. adding to this is that they have already begone placing the apple-logo in front of some of the iPhone-tags found on their website. might this imply they are looking for a legal exit?

but i guess it would be wise to start patenting everything beginning with “i”, as you said, Apple does want iAnything, and is willing to pay for it.

who of you has got some good “i’s” ready for apple to buy?

The iMac, the iPod, surely the logical progression is the iPhone. Whilst the 'i' in most of Apple Inc's product repatoire is synonymous with the company, should one company really have the rights to a letter for use in all future products. This is where i think the problem lies, clearly iPhone is a name that should be part of Apple, however they were beaten to the IP rights by Cisco. As a huge Mac afficiendo id love to see the legal battle swing Apple's way, however from a neutral perspective can Apple's cult status really allow them to leapfrog the IP legal requirements, and if this does happen surely it sets a precedent for the future, namely that 'iAnything' will be the intellectual property of the Apple corporation. Just a thought The iPhone…so where do we begin?
