Is the iPhone just a clunky 1981 IBM PC in a sexy black case? Rupert Goodwins asks some serious questions about its enduring appeal.
As iPhone Week dawns, one thing is clear: marketing is a lot easier--and cheaper--if you let other people do it for you.
Cisco Systems and Apple said on Wednesday they have settled the trademark-infringement lawsuit over the use of the iPhone name for Apple's new multimedia phone.
Motorola CEO Ed Zander on Thursday downplayed disparaging remarks he made last week about Apple Computer's newest music player and predicted that the Mac maker will build its own mobile phone.
Apple wowed the cell phone industry a year ago with the first version of the iPhone. And now its new software development kit and soon-to-be-launched application store featuring third-party applications could change the game yet again.
Earlier this month, Telstra put out a press release trumpeting that it's come up with a new phone coaching service to help people who are "bamboozled" by their mobiles. Another excellent example of wrongheaded thinking from the mobile industry.
Last year I opined that, even if Telstra did launch Apple's iPhone 3G, conflicting goals meant it couldn't afford to seriously back the product. This year, Telstra proved me right, and the reason is simple: Australia's biggest telco just wants to be a Mac.

Apple's iPhone hasn't even made it onto store shelves yet, but it already faces a growing number of rivals, from Cisco to Nokia and even Prada.
The N97 features class-leading specs matched with outstanding design and build, but it loses marks for the Symbian platform that desperately needs an overhaul to stay competitive.
The INNOV8 is loaded with features and sports massive storage. If you're in the market for a mobile phone that can do just about anything the INNOV8 should be on your shortlist.
It's a little slimmer and it has loads of storage, but Nokia's latest flagship model has little to justify its top-shelf price tag.
Beneath its iPhone-esque exterior lurks a very capable business phone.The Palm Treo Pro may not have the snazzy interface designs of the competition, but this means it performs better in most areas.
