Apple Phone WILL NOT be called iMobile

December 25th, 2006 · No Comments

iPhone Insider posted a report claiming that Apple’s upcoming phone product would be called iphone_02.jpg“iMobile” yesterday. This, like most Apple Phone rumors, made to the front page of digg, and is now creeping it’s way through the blogosphere…there’s only one problem with it…it’s not true. Here’s why…

Currently, according to the US Trademark Office, there are 8 “Live” trademarks for the name “iMobile”, and none of them belong to Apple.

Obviously, a name like iPhone or iMobile would be a good fit with Apple’s iPod line, but it looks more and more like that won’t be the case. There simply isn’t much left that you can stick a lowercase “i” in front of that relates to phones/pdas/mobile devices left up for grabs. Apple’s Phone WILL NOT be called “iMobile” by Apple Gazette
