Apple loses iPhone name, what comes next?

More

As reported by Melly Alazraki here at BloggingStocks yesterday, the Apple Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone was scooped by Linksys! Bloggers and rumor sites had all but resigned the world to the fact that the Apple iPod/cellphone would be called the iPhone, and yesterday's bombshell announcement that Linksys will have an iPhone that uses wireless networks to do VOIP sends everyone worrying about what will happen next from Apple.

ZDNet thinks that Apple may be gearing up for an iPhone trademark battle, as Apple rushed to file for the iPhone trademark in Eastern markets. ZDNet cites more evidence that this may be the case. A battle like that would bring a great deal of publicity to both camps and their products.

This might deter some investors who are with Apple solely for the iPod surge, but it still looks likely that some hardware will still come out. What is likely is that Apple will have to do a last minute name change. But what will that be? The iCellphone? The iCell? What do you think Apple will name it?
