- digitaldivinci, on 07/03/2008, -17/+49Why would an American Based company look to trademark a name overseas first?
- vudicarus, on 07/04/2008, -3/+86I guess because Cisco held the US trademark on the name since 2000 (as indicted in the timeline).
- themastersb, on 07/04/2008, -6/+31. Trademark a bunch of product names Apple is likely to use.
2. ?
3. Profit. - TheMidnight, on 07/04/2008, -2/+111. iTrademark
2. i???
3. iProfit - chazuk, on 07/04/2008, -5/+1@ TheMidnight
iLike!
- themastersb, on 07/04/2008, -6/+31. Trademark a bunch of product names Apple is likely to use.
- haentz, on 07/04/2008, -1/+20Because it was already trademarked in the US by Cisco...
- ERTW2011, on 07/04/2008, -3/+31they trade marked it over seas first because Apple was trying to keep the iPhone rumors in North America low. If they trademarked it in the states it would be a dead give away they were making it. When they did trademark the name they used Ocean Telecom to do it for the same reason.
- shampoozleberry, on 07/04/2008, -5/+3This question does not warrant a response. A+ for capitalization though.
- vikblazin, on 07/04/2008, -3/+1because. its called capitalism. they want to make money everywhere possible.
- coldfusion1970, on 07/04/2008, -3/+1I guess it puts people off the scent.
As soon as Apple trademarks anything in the US, the bloggers are on it like white on rice.
- vudicarus, on 07/04/2008, -3/+86I guess because Cisco held the US trademark on the name since 2000 (as indicted in the timeline).
- hkbebe1, on 07/04/2008, -14/+4why not?
- tian2992, on 07/04/2008, -10/+40Lame Title, Great Content, If it was not for the Recommendation System I would have passed away this image. Thanks Recommendation System!
- arduenn, on 07/04/2008, -0/+9Lame title indeed. It implies that timelines are cool in general, that this is the coolest of the vast number of iPhone timelines that are out there on the internets and that I watch these timelines on a daily basis.
Interesting at most.- HonoredMule, on 07/04/2008, -1/+4Coolest by default, timeliniest by timeliney qualities.
- LeeSoong, on 07/04/2008, -5/+11It's missing the entry for July 1st:
Every other cell phone company on the planet
releases a multifunction touch screen cell phone,
with a pop out keyboard, 3G, bluetooth, removeable flash storage, 5 megapixel full video cameras, and full MP3 player functionality + FM radio too...- york2600, on 07/04/2008, -1/+5You forgot crappy user interface and the size of small laptop on that list
- LeeSoong, on 07/04/2008, -2/+2you need to step away from the Apple retail store and see what everyone else is selling now, and not waiting until the middle of July:
http://www.vubylg.com/
(oh, and it includes TV too...)
Don't forget the Samsung Instinct, Glyde, and BlackJack II:
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/type/type.do?gr ...
The competition is easily copying everything in the iPhone, adding HD video cameras (iPhone's camera is an afterthought - a complete joke), slide out keyboards, TV and Radio, expandable storage, 3G and GPS, and all at a lower price point.
It isn't easy - but they are hungry, very hungry to eat Apple's lunch. - shank2001, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3I have looked at what others are selling now, and while you can match, feature for feature, with the iPhone, and in some cases the iPhone is lacking a few features, the iPhone is still the best phone on the market, right now. By far. Why? No one has the interface down as solid as Apple. Just use an iPhone, iPod Touch for a day, and then go back to whatever device you care to name. None of them come close to the iPhone for usability.
I don't even have an iPhone yet, but I have an iTouch, I do so much internet usage on the thing it is amazing. And when I get the iPhone 3G, I won't need a laptop anymore for everyday tasks. The iPhone is truly the one mobile device most people will need in their lives.
Who cares if the camera is average for a cell phone. If you are using your phone to take photos of anything important, you really need to get your head examined. Get a real camera for that. Cameras on cellphones will NEVER replace a real camera.
I don't want a slide out keyboard, I can type faster on my iTouch than on my smart-phone with its chicklet keys, why? Because I have learned to trust the error correction. It really is amazing how fast I can type, do I make mistakes? Yes, but 99% of the time it corrects them for me in the background without requiring any input from me at all.

- spatd, on 07/04/2008, -12/+6It's funny how Apple spent 8 years preparing silently for the iPhone.
- NathanCH, on 07/04/2008, -9/+8Great work takes time.
- nixon956, on 07/04/2008, -4/+2i really don't see the humor
- ausoff2, on 07/04/2008, -3/+1YEAH HILARIOUS
LOL
LOL - coldfusion1970, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3I guess its proof that SJ plays a long game.
He knows what we want years before we do.
- NathanCH, on 07/04/2008, -9/+8Great work takes time.
- NathanCH, on 07/04/2008, -3/+52Wasn't the most interesting time line that I've ever seen. But it was very Apple-like
- comradeTJH, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6But it was for sure the best you saw today, wasn't it ;-)
- subliminalurge, on 07/04/2008, -1/+11Coolest I'll see today, and simultaneously the lamest I'll see today. Since I can say with a high degree of certainty that it's the only timeline I'll see today.
Seriously, I don't see what was so cool, or even interesting about it. Looked like a run-of-the-mill timeline to me.
Yawn....
- subliminalurge, on 07/04/2008, -1/+11Coolest I'll see today, and simultaneously the lamest I'll see today. Since I can say with a high degree of certainty that it's the only timeline I'll see today.

- vudicarus, on 07/04/2008, -1/+5It's interesting that the iPhone moniker goes all the way back to Oct 2002, just one year after the iPod's first release.
And I believe Jobs said during the iPhone's outing that they had been working on the phone for 2 years. That would put the start at the beginning of 2005, even as they were working on the ROKR. - Brotodeau, on 07/04/2008, -12/+77...and in 2241, at WWDC, Steve Jobs (yes, he's still alive) announces the long awaited copy/paste feature... yet, still no sign of MMS...
/crosses fingers for 2242!- Denneval, on 07/04/2008, -8/+40***** MMS and those god awful 'Happy Birthday' message templates. I hope that Apple NEVER authorizes something of the like.
- locodude, on 07/04/2008, -17/+8Having a hard time getting the grips on this new and fancy technology, are ya grandpa? Calm down. Nobody's forcing you to use it *****.
- zaqarov, on 07/04/2008, -0/+16New and fancy technology, MMS?
L-O-L.
How is sending downsized images over a GPRS network new? - Firehed, on 07/04/2008, -0/+7I can't speak to stupid happy birthday messages, but ***** MMS for charging half a buck to get an email with a crappy picture attachment. Especially when you already have unlimited bandwidth for real email in your data plan.
- coldfusion1970, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2I'm going to email via 3g when i get my iPhone. Or maybe i'll iChat via 3g.
I just havent made my mind up yet.
I DEFINITELY wont be MMSing as i've never done that on any of my other mobile phones.
- BrendanSheehan, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4Copy & paste yes, MMS.. could not care less.
- blaquekyd, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2and in 2012 mms becomes obsolete......
- Denneval, on 07/04/2008, -8/+40***** MMS and those god awful 'Happy Birthday' message templates. I hope that Apple NEVER authorizes something of the like.
- spatd, on 07/04/2008, -0/+11I bet there's gonna be one new verson of the iPhone every year, like it happened with the iPod.
- WickEd101, on 07/04/2008, -2/+1Give this man a Tooheys.
- Azerael, on 07/04/2008, -2/+169Nope, definitely seen cooler iPhone timelines today.
- consie, on 07/04/2008, -1/+16Yeah, this is definitely around the 3rd or 4th coolest mark.
- umbrellainabin, on 07/04/2008, -8/+2no you havent.........................
- stupidStan, on 07/04/2008, -32/+26NO, a PHONE does not need a time line.
Apple people: go find a hobby... that doesn't involve Apple, this is just pathetic.- Odiwan, on 07/04/2008, -7/+5How about the world's leading mobile computing platform for the next 20 years? That deserves a timeline.
- stupidStan, on 07/04/2008, -5/+7Just because you have a boner for it doesn't mean it is the leading mobile computing platform for the next 20 years.
With the new Linux phones and Android coming out which programmers can actually WRITE PROGRAMS FOR it is safe to say that the iPhone will not be the world's leading computing platform... maybe entertainment, but not computing. - xrispy, on 07/04/2008, -0/+5Programs can't be written for iPhone? Evidence seems contrary.
- ryleyleckie, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2let's argue alot on digg..
- stupidStan, on 07/04/2008, -5/+7Just because you have a boner for it doesn't mean it is the leading mobile computing platform for the next 20 years.
- adriantr, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2Apple has done well... but I'm doubting that the iPhone platform will last as it is for 20 years, would be kinda outdated by then. Think about using a DOS based system now, that hasn't even been 20 years and it would likely be a tedious experience.
- ausoff2, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2yeah...cause all 'apple people' do is jack it to iphone all day....
- TheMidnight, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2They're onto me! Where's that iKlear screen cleaner??
- coldfusion1970, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2Arent you the one replying in a Apple thread?
Get a life.
- Odiwan, on 07/04/2008, -7/+5How about the world's leading mobile computing platform for the next 20 years? That deserves a timeline.
- MyDiggIsBig, on 07/04/2008, -7/+2tomorrow, i love you, i love you, tomorrow, you're only a day away!
- KaiUno, on 07/04/2008, -2/+80It was the ONLY iphone timeline I've seen since I heard of the bloody thing and I don't intend to watch another. What's so cool about this then? I don't get it. Is it because it's horizontal?
- frotastic, on 07/04/2008, -0/+5just wait, tomorrows time line will be vertical! prepare to be amazed
- KMartSheriff, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2Perpendicular!
- Starviper, on 07/04/2008, -3/+4Why am I always having to hear about something I cant afford..
- apexified, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1You can't afford an iphone or the price of canceling your current contract and switching to att? That's pretty much where I lost interest.
- ScionX, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1I can afford both, just don't want to switch back to AT&T's ***** service.
Be more than happy to get an iPhone once I'm able to buy one from the store that can be used on Verizon. - coldfusion1970, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Then why dont you join me on O2?
- ScionX, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1I can afford both, just don't want to switch back to AT&T's ***** service.
- apexified, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1You can't afford an iphone or the price of canceling your current contract and switching to att? That's pretty much where I lost interest.
- estate, on 07/04/2008, -2/+9Timelines are cool? Interesting, yes, but not cool.
- warsongs7, on 07/04/2008, -1/+4And this timeline is neither interesting nor cool..
- apexified, on 07/04/2008, -2/+1interesting enough that you commented on it.
- warsongs7, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1Nope. Interesting enough for me to comment on it twice.
- warsongs7, on 07/04/2008, -1/+4And this timeline is neither interesting nor cool..
- Murdats, on 07/04/2008, -1/+7well I can say this was informative, apparently I have been sick of the iphone for over 2 years.
- jo21, on 07/04/2008, -3/+1i'm getting sick of the pro-apple news to mac fanboys use to marturbate here.
they are just fans wishful thinking
8% marketshare? just 92% to go? oh be afraid microsoft
iphone market share : after more than a year still less than 0.5%.
ipods?
after owned one, it die down 3 times in a year, getting it a new one after each one, but then, the warranty expired, not more replacements.
i think also thats the reason i won't touch a xbox360 even with a 100ft pole
- jo21, on 07/04/2008, -3/+1i'm getting sick of the pro-apple news to mac fanboys use to marturbate here.
- 2Deluxe, on 07/04/2008, -3/+109OMG. This does not even COMPARE to the iPhone timeline from yesterday, OR the one from the day before that!
- tama00, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2The coolest aye.. well considering i highly doubt i will be seeing another stupid iphone timeline after seeing this stupid one, then i guess it is.
- Ninjao, on 07/04/2008, -11/+3I can see you... hiding in these comments...pretending you're normal humans...blending in...you macfags.
- ryleyleckie, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3you need help.
- StrawberryFrog, on 07/04/2008, -1/+14Yeah, because we see so many iPhone timelines every day.
- macmangb, on 07/04/2008, -8/+7Go Apple!
- cslawren, on 07/04/2008, -0/+10If i have my way, it will be the only iphone timeline i see today, if ever.
- lartones, on 07/04/2008, -1/+9It forgot to mention "July 11th,2008, Rogers as well as other wireless communications providers completely ***** people in the ass for plans."
- Firehed, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2Uhh... that's been around since before the cell phone industry existed. They just took a viagra for the iPhone plan.
- MarrowMan, on 07/04/2008, -2/+7wheres the bit in the timeline where one of those guys buys a brand new one, then films himself ***** destroying it?
- robruiz, on 07/04/2008, -4/+4its so cool knowing that Apple brewed this product for over 7 years!
- svensksvamp, on 07/04/2008, -3/+4What's the point? I bet all diggers could draw this timeline straight from their head in like 5 minutes.
- ocularist, on 07/04/2008, -4/+1this is super sexy!!!!!!!!
- locodude, on 07/04/2008, -2/+5OK, so it's a timeline. But what's so friggin' cool about it? I didn't even think it was particularly shiny.
- vw2005, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Forgot to include that 'iPhone' was already copyrighted in Canada by a local telecom company providing VOIP services. Much like Cisco, this company (Comwave) sued Apple Canada for copyright infringement.
I'm guessing a settlement was reached because it's coming to Canada in the next couple of weeks...- spatd, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1thanks, i'll look into it
- apexified, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3it seems like putting an i in front of any word should not fall under copyright law. wouldn't that be trademark?
- lildeviI, on 07/04/2008, -0/+0It is a trademark issue, not copyright.
- ausoff2, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1I think that is included...
- GeorgeStone2, on 07/04/2008, -1/+1And hopefully the last I see today.
I must have seen 20 of these things so far... - whitfield, on 07/04/2008, -4/+2Buried for "iPhone timelines are not usually cool but this one is".
no, wait... buried for "iPhone timeline..." - browny1978, on 07/04/2008, -2/+8WHAT ABOUT THE IPHONE FIRMWARE HACKED TIMELINE??
- celkin, on 07/04/2008, -1/+9WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME??
- flashback99, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2Do iPhone timelines come out everyday? and do I search for them everyday?
- WickEd101, on 07/04/2008, -1/+15I love how Cisco and Apple own and "share" the iPhone name, but Google 'iPhone' and good luck finding Cisco in the first 60,000 pages of results.
- CommissarVlad, on 07/04/2008, -0/+5D-Day? Come on...
- MillurTime, on 07/04/2008, -2/+5Only iPhone timeline I will see today.
- mrjofo, on 07/04/2008, -3/+1Well he's right. I know I certainly won't see a cooler iPhone timeline today.
- BuddyStein, on 07/04/2008, -4/+2Get a life!
- waydee, on 07/04/2008, -6/+2Buried as iphonespam.
- istefan, on 07/04/2008, -2/+0Done within five minutes with the help of the macapp "timelime"!
- antechinus, on 07/04/2008, -3/+2I for one can't wait until Android (the Google phone) hits the streets.
- DaveVII, on 07/04/2008, -2/+1This is the stupidest title i've ever seen.
But you've got to love the way that the submitter thought "oohhh...what if version 2.0 of this timeline comes out tomorrow... i better put 'Today' on the end of the time line just in case. - dleifelohcs, on 07/04/2008, -3/+3"Available in 70 countries till the end of 08"
TILL the end? What, do iPhones all vanish at the end of the year? Man, I'm glad I've got a Motorola Q9 instead!- eq2s, on 07/04/2008, -2/+1No. It will be available in 70.5 countries in 09.
- nunquam, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2It's nuts how a misplaced comment on a blog can knock off 4 Billion dollars! I know engdget is massively popular but it's still a blog.
- aenima987, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2Wow, I didn't know Engadget would be able to hurt Apple that bad.
Owned :) - poploserdigg, on 07/04/2008, -3/+2having a "timeline" for something that is 2 years old is dumb.
- emcea, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2ur dumb
- GeneralFailure0, on 07/04/2008, -3/+2I've seen a lot of cool iPhone timelines today, guys, but this one is no doubt the coolest.
- DM01, on 07/04/2008, -2/+5The only iPhone timeline I'll see today.
- machocheese34, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2it wins by default
- psuth1, on 07/04/2008, -2/+3thought
- Vazelos, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Do you need special software to create such a timeline generally? Like Keynote? I am interested in making a timeline like this.
- MrEdwardo, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1**witty sarcastic comment regarding the 'sheer mass' of iPhone timelines I've seen today, and how this isn't the coolest by a long way**
- biggerapple3am, on 07/04/2008, -0/+0*****
