I'm waiting to see the Apple iPhone boxes with a "sticker" on them proclaiming the new name after they lose the court battle to use the name.
By then it might not matter anyway as no one will be buying the Apple phone anyway, they misread the market totally and they will only ever be a "niche" player in the phone market.
