Apple getting into the phone market will bring great things to the mobile web...

Apple described the gadget as a "handheld and mobile digital electronic [device] for the sending and receiving of telephone calls, faxes, electronic mail, and other digital data; MP3 and other digital format audio players."

Just thought I'd post that one more time to emphasize the question.

Why are people getting so upset about this being posted in the .mobi section. "This is a domain forum, not a gadget forum." How can something that is making people more aware of mobile internet not be a topic worth discussing on a forum about mobile domain names?

I wasn't too impressed with the idea of "yet another phone" either, but I really can't believe how many people are talking about this phone. Sure, it may not default to .mobi right now, but I doubt any phones are going to do that anytime soon. That's up to .mobi supporters to develop enough sites to make it worthwhile. Then Apple will realize .mobi's potential and jump on board.

SAN FRANCISCO - Cisco Systems Inc. said Wednesday it is suing Apple Inc. in federal court over Apple’s use of Cisco’s registered iPhone trademark for its new handheld device.

Cisco has owned the trademark on the name “iPhone” since 2000, when it acquired InfoGear Technology Corp., which originally registered the name.

And three weeks ago, Cisco’s Linksys division put the trademark to use, releasing an Internet-enabled phone called “iPhone” that uses the increasingly popular Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP.


I guess the concern here will be if this inspires other corporations or trademark holder to start stoking the legal fires.

I plead the 5th :hehe:
