Apple loses iPhone name, what comes next?

It's AppleBerry

How about iTalk

iTalk, that sounds good enough I'd not be surprised if it become real.

iMobile, iChat, iCellular, iCan

iTalk

Call it the iPhonepod?

i2

Why not I-Pal

It can't be iChat. That's the name of their IM software.
iTalk doesn't cut it either. iMobile? That could mean anything!
It's probably something along the lines of some cool new word...like "iDef"
Think about the name "iPod". What does "Pod" mean? Nothing! But it's cool now!

I still like iPod Mobile. Leverages the established brand and doesn't sound stupid. I never really cared for iPhone anyway.

iTalk is really good. I agree it's better than iphone.
Maybe Linsky did them a favour by scooping iPhone.

how about i-com?

Well, what about AppleTalk ? Guess that´s Apple trademark at least...

MacPhone, PhonePod, PodPhone, iBeam.

iBeam, iLink, PodPhone, MacPhone.

If Apple just comes out with a traditional cell phone they will be killed in the market. We do not need another cell phone company with an 80% saturation rate in the market already. So the focus should be on overall conectivity, not on a "phone". Their product should be based on total connectivity which includes internet, VOIP (internet phone), texting, music, email, video, etc. Lots of options exist, but maybe building on the iPod name would be better than starting a new "brand". However, they could turn the table on Linksys and call it iLink.

iMobile would be the best name because it would be a moble device for communication, media, music, messaging; and "Mobile me" would work great as its tag
iMobile - MOBILE ME

--That would create a dazzling marketing campaign -- much better than iPhone - and would work well with Apple's other "i" products - iPod, iLife, iChat -- iMobile - far superior to iPhone

Hopefully Apple is thinking way beyond a phone, so I'm thinking of names which would insinuate broader and (or) universal communication and interface abilities, such as iBeam, iSpeak, iBridge, iLink, or my favorite, iPath... would provide huge advertising opportunity.

Thanks for listening.

I can't leave this one alone...
How about "iRoad," if we stay on the "i," path, or introducing a grander collaborative opportunity, through the introduction of "we,"... such as "wePod."

Thanks for listening.
