Here’s a cool parody - Microsoft introducing the Zune Phone.
I simply love the fake Balmer voice. It’s so damn real…

Why the Cisco and Apple negociations ended up so shortly

The Register has a cool scoop on the history of the iPhone name, since it first appeared back in 1994:

The iPhone has been with us for many years, in a variety of forms, and its slow and painstaking development has taken many twists and turns before reaching its forthcoming destination.

Briefly: there was a band called Eyephone back in 1994; then a PC-to-PC VOIP software in 2001, then a Palm OS one in 2004, a voip service in 2004, etc..

The news is all around the blogosphere: an unofficial report from Wired says that the Cingular exclusivity for the iPhone will be actually a two-week one.

Although still secret, this info seems to come from within T-Mobile, whose employees are already starting signing people up for the iPhone.

… The fellow was a T-mobile agent/employee and very excited about the news. He was willing to pre-sign me for the iPhone. That all I’ve got but he was convinced.

Engadget has the scoop: Cisco settled its Apple lawsuit, after some interesting business deals behind.

Could this be the secret of the reality distortion field? If not, then at least it shows us something: Steve is a mere mortal..

Our fellows-in-passion from MyIPhone.com and UnwiredView introduce us to the latest gadget in the iPhone market niche: it’s concept prototype, the Asus Aura, designed by the Hungarian design company Egy Studio. It was clearly inspired by iPhone, although it has some interesting innovations that could make it quite a treat. We have no other info on the Aura, and it’s mostly probable that the gadget will remain a prototype and never reach to market, unlike the LG Prada, for instance…
