Hey, just caught up with this thread... for the record, tongue was firmly planted in cheek when talking about Apple being arrogant. Sure they are, but who can't like seeing Apple give a jolt to a mobile phone business that seems to conspire together to tolerate bad user experience.
There was one nice product at CES that probably didn't get its due as a result. The new Nokia N800 tablet looks nice, will probably be relatively affordable, and seems to have a clean and well-thought-out OS. Anyone had a chance to play with one? I tried out its predecessor, the 770, at a store in NYC the other day and was pretty impressed. http://www.nseries.com/products/n800/#l=products,n800 http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/nokia-n800-internet-tablet-unboxed/ On 1/13/07, Steve Watkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > lol whoa yeah it does look like Cisco might have blown it, har har > sticking a sticker that says 'iPhone' on the box of an existing > product, does not seem likely to me to have preserved their trademark, > fools! > > Cheers > > Steve Elbows > > --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Ryan Ozawa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On 1/11/07, Steve Watkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Oh yeah and the supreme arrongance of Apple winds me up - just > why did > > > they think they could get away with using the name iPhone when its > > > already been trademarked? > > > > I'm an Apple fan, but also felt the same way.
