He is being serious.

You are floating some dumbbell logic that says because Apple's use of the "i" being the most widely known, HP should stop using the brand name they've had since 2000.


Not much of a shock seeing that Apple illegally used the name iPhone from another company, and Apple fans thought that was perfectly ok too.]]>Nov 24th 2009 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/Nov 24th 2009 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/Nov 24th 2009 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/Nov 24th 2009 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/But what do you PAQ?]]>Nov 24th 2009 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/probably the same thing he "pods"]]>Nov 24th 2009 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/
ahhh... the good old days.

The Compaq iPaq H3630 was in the Guinness Book of World Records as the "World's Most Powerful PDA" back in DECEMBER 2000. Over six years before the Dawn of the iPricks. And that name was used in a line of desktops as well.

Even Microsoft has admitted that the OS is "behind the curve" and released 6.5 after WinMo 7 hit some delays.

So, no I guess they don't explain it in every discussion about WinMo because... it is sort of common knowledge at this point. ]]>Nov 24th 2009 9:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/Nov 24th 2009 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/Maybe HP/Compaq should douche up and sue Apple, eh?]]>Nov 24th 2009 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/Nov 24th 2009 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/Nov 24th 2009 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/hps-obsidian-becomes-ipaq-glisten-officially-comes-to-atandt/

And you really are so dumb that you dont know that the i prefix was used on a variety of devices in the late 90s?

It was used with others like:

e = electronic

d = digital


The i stood for internet and it wasn't the first to use it.
