I'm a huge mac/ipod fan and think this will bomb. It's $500-$600, so it's more expensive than getting an ipod and a cellphone seperately.

It now looks like it won't be called the iPhone. Cisco owns the trademark on "iPhone" and just filed suit right after Apple made the announcement. It appears that they were in negoliations to license the name and Apple decided it would go ahead without reaching an agreement. Hmm...

ouch!

I was wondering about the name as i heard in the news a few weeks ago that people were speculating what it was going to be called and decided it wasn't going to be called iphone because someone else allready had that name.

Will be interesting to see how it shakes out.

Maybe I should go out and trademark the name iTelephone, iRadio, iVideo, and iMail!

You're already too late to the party. All of those are trademarked already. You could try: iIsAStupidNameForAProduct.
