Apple's probably going to stick with the lowercase i and swing for a name like "iChat mobile" or "iChat portable", or follow suit with their laptops and say Mac is the new i, so maybe MacPhone with new OS X smartphone edidion?

Why would a WiFi phone need a base like that. Also, do you mean CIT300?

I'm based in Paris (france) and i am so surprised by what happened. What Brian Lam did on friday about the "IPhone" is just amazing !!! How can you tolerate that kind of behaviour from somebody who is supposed to be a journalist. Personnaly, i will never trust anymore what is written on gizmodo, wether it on the french or the us web site. From now, i just see gizomdo as a personnal blog where a few people writte what they want without considering the audience. I feel very bad as a reader. And i would like to be an advertiser of this web site.

I'm amazed Apple didn't already trademark 'iPhone', or maybe they did and litigation is in the air.......

Actually, I could have sworn that they did, which was one of the ways people discovered they were considering making one, but obviously that's not the case. I'm no Apple fan, but I'm still fairly interested to see what the Apple not-an-iPhone thing is.

I don't get all the new Mobile WiFi skype devices. Are there really that many open access points around to make this thing even remotely useful out side of my house?

Price point still around $200. I'm sure this second gen is an improvement, but it's time that price came back down to earth. I wanted to buy even the first one, but my wallet still says no.

News Flash: Apple will release what they are calling the aPhone. Because, you know, it's just aPhone.

"The hype is from Apple Fanboys..."
Uh, yeah and the the Associated Press and Canada's National Post and Morgan Stanley and CNN/Fortune and Diggnation and CNET...

Super King — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 09:46:52 EST

"iPhone" (where the 'i' stands for internet) makes much more sense in this case, as Linksys phone does WiFi and Skype. I have doubts Apple's proposed phone does either.

Why are the buttons on these Wifi phones always so edgy...it looks like a toy phone my nephew would play with.

The hype is from Apple Fanboys...luckily Apple DOESN'T have the right to put 'i' infront of any other noun and call it theirs.

Congrats to Linksys for playing off the whole iPhone buzz and getting their product out to market to take advantage of it.

In the end...iAm very sick of all the iStuff anyway.

So 90% of Giz readers are Apple fan boys? They are the one pissed about this not the rest of the readers...

Are they really going to call it the iPhone? After all of this hype, I think it's a bit tacky for any other company than Apple to use the name...

So, is this the iPhone Brian Lam was talking about last week?! God. I feel so cheated, like someone came into my house and stole my christmas tree. And the gifts. But left the sh***y little star from the 70s.
