As it will be seriously integrated with Leopard rather than the iPod this seems extreely sensible and will help expand the Mac name ito areas where it can have much more short term impact than in desktop computers alone but will help expand the whole brand considerably to non Mac users thus making a 'mac' halo effect on top of the 'iPod' halo effect which can only, since it is a separate brand have so much effect. IPod was important in a product that was aimed at non mac users when they were likely to be put off by the Apple/Mac brand generally. Now that it has done its job of making the whole company and Mac brand more receptive it is now logical to bring back the mac/apple brand big time into new product areas to push the expansion to a new level. By the way 'iCell' would be a pretty useless brand name in large parts of the World that prefer the term 'Mobile' (or other) to Cell phone which is US centric.

Shades of the the GM(?) Nova car which didn't sell in South America because "nova" means "doesn't go". Apple certainly would have spent a lot of time to ensure that the name won't inadvertantly mean something else. A small misprint with "iMobile" gives "immobile" = "can't move". LOL.

I am no trademark specialist, so I don't know the details involved with fighting over a name that you want trademarked, but I don't think it's very likely that we're going to see an "i" Anything from Apple with this product. Going the Mac route works for several reasons...the scaled down Mac OS...and a separation from the iPod brand...I'm sure the phone will be a music player as well, but Apple doesn't want you to buy their Phone INSTEAD of an iPod...they want you it in addition to an iPod...and the brand separation will help separate the products in the minds of consumers. MacPhone or MacMobile FTW. Tim -

They already have the name registered and stuff, and if it does anything besides play music and make calls, it could be considered a PDA so... Yeah.

None of the iMobile trademarks under review are currently active. So, from a legal standpoint, it's still plausible. Michael, just so you know, a “LIVE” trademark doesn’t mean it’s registered.
