I’m sick of the “i” prefix. It’s played out. I know they have alot of brand equity in it, but I think they’ve trapped themselves. The iPhone could have been their way out, but oh well.

The sad thing is that it’s all the third party folks that make all the crap for Macs and iPod that have driven the “i” into the ground. But it doesn’t look as though Apple’s ready to break away from it yet.

My favorite choice is still MacMobile, but I definetly think they should drop the “i”…it’s not worth a court battle…or even a licensing fee. Why pay Cisco anything at all when you can just call it something else?

To be honest I was disappointed when it was called iPhone because I thought Apple was done using “i” and had moved on to “Mac” or “”. They should’ve seen that coming and escape the lawsuit by naming it something else like phone or MacPhone. They sound better anyway. I like phone.

phone is looking pretty good right now, alongside yesterday’s iTV (er, tv) announcement
