Got a better name for the iPhone?

Filed in archive Cell Phones by Phil Gerbyshak on January 15, 2007

It's no secret Cisco is not happy about Apple using the word "iPhone" to describe their new device. Rob Hof of BusinessWeek asks us to come up with a better name.

In the comments on Hof's post, Phillip links

Sellers shares the word Slice, which has a nice ring to it, especially if you make it iSlice. You Mon Tsang shared iConnect, another name I like. I personally think iGotcha would be a great name.

Seriously though, I like the name iPresent, as you could use this new device to save your presentations on it and take you from the past to the present. Or maybe iFuture would work, as this is the device of the future.

Gotta great name for this new iDevice? Don't be shy, leave me a comment.

Add your response to Got a better name for the iPhone?: Response from: Al Feldzamen The KILLER APP for Apple's phone, which has severe defects including (1) high price, (2) limited memory for music, and (3) awkward text entry method, will be DICTATIONS SOFTWARE . . . that will enable a user to dictate Email and also text material (perhaps into a simplified word processor, like TEXTEDIT) that can later be sent, any one of several ways, to a printer . . . in which case, a better name for the device will be POCKET MAC ! Response from: JayZee iSsac (as in Newton). Response from: Ernst Mulder My name of choice would be the iCan. We've got a Pod for music, now a Can for lotas of stuff. Like iCan make calls, iCan dance. Response from: ruerogers podphone Response from: Phil Gerbyshak Ruerogers - interesting. Thanks for sharing. Ernst - iCan dance, but iCan't sing. iCan take a hint though. JayZee - that would be an interesting choice, given how short lived the Newton was. Would be cheeky though. I like it! Response from: Phil Gerbyshak Interesting suggestion Al. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for weighing in!
