@twoboxen At $899 for the base model, IT managers will gobble this up as a great way to deal with their networks. The apps will probably be some of the first written. I'm excited about everything but the price, but it'll be a company expense.

She wasn't 17, she was 20. She's a liar. But lets see the video TMZ!

@luitjens Why are you recording DVD quality movies with a phone? Trying to make bad amateur porn?

@Sam Just cause the other guy is being a dick, don't bring the iPhone into it. My iPhone works great, have fun with your Droid, or Pre or whatever you latched onto this week.

@ljm Most GSM phones are world phones nowadays and now a good chunk of Blackberries are dual CDMA/GSM. While only a small amount of us use our phones internationally, we are the people who use our phones A LOT and generate more income for those greedy bastards at AT&T or Verizon (formerly a Bell company/AT&T themselves).

I can't wait until the 4G systems start coming online and everyone is on the same equipment. Or so I've heard.

Thanks for the reply Charles.

I just cut and pasted it from the link, those are their words not mine.

I always use the word copy or xerox, not xerography. But I may start using it now to confuse my co-workers.

Mandatory? I'm still running 3.0.

Losing market share? Can you provide a link to the statistics you are using please?

More info: Distinction can be manifested through whimsy or, to put it more aptly, meaningless. A good example is Xerox, which is sheer whimsy and was utterly lacking in meaning before it became synonymous with making a copy. This is the kind of trademarkable invented word known technically as a neologism.™ If the word can't be located in any primary dictionary, then it can be up for grabs for trademarking, though the lack of a prior definition is no guarantee.

More interesting info on how Apple can trademark "apple": http://www.secureyourtrademark.com/2007/11/trademark-registration-of-common-words.html

Good info. One of these developers needs to sue him challenging his trademark. I don't believe you can trademark common words for exclusive use. Langdell probably doesn't have deep pockets so these guys needs to team up and shove it up his pooper.

The Apple trademark fight being the biggest one I can think of. But being a noun that might have been different. Any trademark lawyers out there?
