Today in San Francisco Steve Jobs will be announcing Apple's new products. Speculation on the news is that it will be a cell phone. No one is calling it the "iPhone."

If he announces a phone, guess we shall see what they named it.

FWIW, here's what at least one industry analyst has to say (article HERE):



So, what says the BBF trademark & IP defense team on this one? Apple has never before been a participant in the phone biz and as noted above, they haven't yet made any official announcements announcing or naming a product - do they have inherent ownership on the lower case letter "i" with regards to any electronic device of any kind?
