The iPhone’s new name: “iPod” (?)

Because Cisco owns the product name for iPod, Steve Jobs has to either do some battling in court or settle things in a friendly manner and call his iPhone something else.

My brazened prediction? Sooner or later, Apple will just have one product line for portable media and integrate a phone component with it. Already, the […]

Apple iPhone: Breathtaking

But the million dollar question is how the heck did a Windows virus get shipped with about 1% of the video-capable iPods after September 12 2006? Another terrorist attack? Methinks not. It’sb asically oversight from Apple, contractor, and that guy in the […]
