We've been using the term iPhone for Apple's new cellular service/phones that was rumored about for a long time before finally being announced officially, but we probably won't see it coming out just yet. Why, you ask? It's simple: the name iPhone is already taken, it's a VoIP service being offered by Nuivo since 2003.


But it can't be that simple now, can it? You see, Apple registered the iPhone trademark way back in 2002. So here's the question now: does the iPhone constitute a different enough use of the name to not infringe on Nuvio? It wouldn't be the first time Apple uses a name that some other company has already been using. Apple may be our beloved computer company but it's also a record company in England (and one with a famous musical group too).


Also another point for consideration: if it's not going to be iPhone, then what will it be? iCell? iTalk? iYap? iDrivingHazzard?

Okay, I'll stop now.
