iphone.jpgA few hours after Apple announces the “iPhone” to be released later this year, every blog in the world has written and posted pictures about it. Imagine if your new products received that much free media attention.

You can read about it on Apple’s site here.

Fred reckons Apple is trying to monopolies the “i” prefix so that they own it. They have the iMac, iPod, iTunes and recently iTV and iPhone. I think we should rename this blog to iDeate and see if it helps our public image.
