Apple says iPhone, Cisco says iSue

Yesterday, the entire World & the blogsphere was talking about how cool the iPhone is. Today, they all are talking about the Cisco's copyright infringment suit. I am an Apple Inc. stock owner BTW. My take on it this
  • Apple was completely stupid enough to announce and use a copy righted name in Good Faith? This does not make sense to me at all
  • I definitely have to agree Apple is bringing some new ideas to the market with the new phone. But I do not agree that it is revolutionary. Using touch and On-Screen keyboards are not anything new. A Windows Mobile based phone can do all that iPhone can do (and more). It is just that the Mobile Operators and OEM's who build on Windows Mobile probably did not think the high cost would cut for the target audience which is the mass market. I for one will not pay $499 for such a device. For me a reasonable price is to not exceed $199.
  • I am fed up of Apple naming everything iSomething. That simply shows that it is not being very creative. Infact, I rather prefer names like OSX, Safari, KeyNote which are much more attractive.

I really want Apple to rename their device instead of paying Cisco in millions.
