The iPhone Commercial During the Oscars.

3G iPhone Next Year Maybe !!

As with all new devices alot of people will wait for version 2 of the product just to make sure all the bugs/problems are gone. The same can be said for the iPhone as rumour has it that in early 2008 Apple will release a 3G version of the phone on this side of the pond.

Apple hasn’t been especially shy in beating the drums for its long-term 3G plans, as Apple chief executive Steve Jobs himself mentioned 3G in his Macworld keynote and later had his story backed by Cingular (now AT&T) distribution chief Glenn Lurie.

Apple’s choice of cellphone networks in Ireland is still undecided as far as we know but it will be interesting to see what happens in the next few months.

Apple and Cisco are Friends again

Finally the iPhone will be called iPhone as Cisco and Apple announced they have resolved their bitter dispute involving the “iPhone” trademark name.

After more than a month of public sparring, the companies recently agreed to several legal extensions, following the Cisco lawsuit over the iPhone trademark (in the US as well as in the UK).

Under the agreement, both companies are free to use the “iPhone” trademark on their products throughout the world, according to the release.

Both companies acknowledge the trademark ownership rights that have been granted, and each side will dismiss any pending actions regarding the trademark.

In addition, Cisco and Apple will explore opportunities for interoperability in the areas of security, and consumer and enterprise communications.

Both companies, however, said that other terms of the agreement are confidential.

Nokia 7373 Special Edition

After the L’Amour Collection from Nokia they are now set to release the Nokia 7373 Special Edition during Paris Fashion Week, Nokia has joined creative forces with talented fashion designer Giambattista Valli to craft the Nokia 7373 Special Edition.

“I was intrigued by the inspiration to define the mobile phone as a fashion accessory,” explains Giambattista Valli. “Like a dress, shoes and jewelry, the Nokia 7373 Special Edition phones follow the theme of my collection and I immediately imagined them as silhouettes dressed in my work. Depending on your mood, you swap bags and transfer the contents. Amazing to see how Nokia has applied this idea to the world of mobility. Just swap SIM cards from one mobile phone to another to match your personal style.”

As for spec of the phone I’ve no idea, anyway who cares this is a fashion phone to match you shoes or handbag or whatever
