Things That Make You Go Hmmmm…iPhone Edition

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Vincent over at aMobileMe has a picture of the iPhone (yes, the Apple version) that was sent to him by an anonymous tipster, two hours prior to the Lynksys announcement.

Doesn’t it look like an ad mock-up used by an advertising agency?

What you may have not seen are the words at the very bottom right, which read “Setup Note: This board should“…

I’ve heard of attention to detail, but I highly doubt that some iPhone schemer would add that to the bottom of a fake wannabe. Or would they?

So!

Is the iPhone dead?

Or is there something else going on…?

Very interesting. Some of the patents for which Apple has filed are for a multi-touch interface and for a virtual click wheel (i.e. a touch wheel that is superimposed on a screen). Suppose that bottom half of the iPhone was some sort of LCD or similar screen on which a click wheel could appear or a phone dial pad?

Would be pretty slick and the kind of thing I’d expect from Apple.

iPhone is TM’d by Linksys no?

Yes; fake.

Actually iPhone is TM’d by Linksys.

But wouldn’t it be funny if “iPhone” was the code name that even Apple used, all the way up to the unveiling of the new word, which will undoubtedly be something that seems weird at first, but eventually becomes as common a term as “iPod”?

Sorry, was being rhetorical with my first comment here.

And, just for fun: “iPhone and Linksys are registered trademarks of Cisco Systems, Inc.”

Ha! Of course they are.

Cisco = silently taking over the world while everyone is watching Microsoft and Google.

My money is on Google. I really want to implement the ‘Apps for your domain’ thing they recently released on a website, even though I don’t have one to apply it to; it’d be fun.
