Trang 1Cisco, LG and Qantum iPhone Law-suit
Ever since Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the iPhone, which is a mobile phone with multimedia capabilities that are similar to the iPod, an iPhone lawsuit immediately followed
The most popular and talked about lawsuit is probably the Cisco iPhone lawsuit filed on January 10, 2007 one day after the iPhone announcement at MacWorld
This iPhone lawsuit claims that Cisco has been the owner of the iPhone trademark when it acquired and took over Infogear in
2000 One month later, Cisco and Apple eventually reached an agreement with both companies using the iPhone name and will be mutually exploring interoperability between their products
This was not the only iPhone lawsuit filed since Apple's re-leased the iPhone The Head of LG Electronics Mobile Handset R&D Center, Woo-Young Kwak issued a statement claiming that the iPhone copied the LG Prada design
This iPhone lawsuit in-the-making has been in the news for several months already but LG has yet to formally file an iPhone lawsuit A closer look at the LG Prada and the Apple iPhone actually reveals very little similarities Aside from the design, phone features and capabilities are significantly different
Another iPhone lawsuit in-the-making claims that the touch screen technology of the iPhone and its proximity sensors are already patented by Quantum Research (QR) But QR immediately backed down on their threat stating that they will have to wait until the iPhone was released As of today, no iPhone lawsuit has been
Trang 2filed by QR Quantum Research already has a pending lawsuit over Apple's iPod click wheels which they claim uses charge-transfer technology similar to the Cypress PSoC chip patented by QR
Trang 3iPhone Linksys: Apple Inc and Cisco
on iPhone
Before the wonderful iPhone was ever released, there have been another product named iPhone, which has been made by the company known and named as from Cisco Systems
And this iPhone is a more commonly known as the Linksys iPhone, which is in itself, a line of Internet appliances that com-bined the power and capabilities of a regular cellular phone and a Web Terminal
The Linksys iPhone was first brought out for public sale by the company Infogear in the year of 1998 In this time, this same Company was later purchased by the company, Cisco and during the years of 2001 to 2006, Cisco refrained from releasing to the public any new products udner the said name of iPhone
This is something that came automatically under the merger
of Cisco and Infogear And with no new products being marketed under the name of iPhone, it was later pushed out of the public's mind and into the unknown world of countless and countless of technological gadgets until the conception and introduction of Apple Inc.'s iPhone
This introduction made by Apple Inc soon brought out the word ‘iPhone' back into the public's mind as well as their desire to buy and have an experience with the revolutionary product as well
And though it may come at such a high price, the Apple Inc.'s iPhone has many capabilities that used to be part of many different kinds of gadgets Yet, with the trademark of iPhone still in Cisco, the Company soon decided to rebrand its Linksys VoIP-based
Trang 4cellular phones in a move that matched Apple Inc.'s and Cisco's iPhones respectively in name This similarity in name severely caused a trademark dispute between the two Companies, but this has been resolved in the greatest of convenience
Trang 5iPhone Order Pre: A Costlier, yet
more Convenient Venture
There is no apparent reason why the Apple Inc.'s new and revolutionary product named iPhone must be dumped into the sidelines as an unprofitable object
It is very foolhardy to expect it so And from the very begin-ning, the speculators were not quivering for its probable numbers
of sale, rather, they were inquiring on the possible release dates, price and the stocks of iPhone
There is indeed a definite amount of fear that there may be a shortage of iPhones available for the public's use In fact, far from being left out of the so-called iPhone mad-rush there have been people who try to order their iPhone through pre-orders, which is distinctly forbidden by the executives of Apple Inc To ask why, is a mystery that no one can answer, but as for all concerned, Apple Inc does not allow pre-ordering
Although, there have been rumors and reports about stores accepting pre-orders from their customers, who hope to avoid the lines of waiting Today, there are now pre-order Websites that offer their services for a higher price
It is mostly likely though that these Websites are foreign in distribution and headquarters, as most pre-order sites are to be found in places outside America
There are in fact cases where people would try to find a lower pricing for their pre-order iPhones, but it is however no doubt that these iPhones are more expensive that the iPhones bought in the stores Sometimes, the differences in terms of the cost are at the
Trang 6thousands of dollars and these iPhones simply do not come cheap, but in cases where convenience is the main consideration, pre-ordering is a must
