Cisco Licensing “iOS” Trademark to Apple
As Steve Jobs announced that “iPhone OS” was being renamed “iOS”, a lot of you wondered how exactly was Apple thinking of doing it considering that Cisco retained the name “IOS” for many years. Simple: they found an agreement and went for it. Cisco is licensing the “iOS” name to Apple, and that’s it.
On other hand, Apple has acquired the name “FaceTime” from a less known company which is now forced to change its name.
Ah, power of Cupertino lawyers.
Apple Gets into iPhone Case Business with “Bumpers”

iAds: It’s Better for Everyone
There’s lots of people crying about iAds. “It’s this intrusive model that Apple wants to rake money from!” But not really. Making applications is hard work (seriously - try it sometime), but people want applications for free or dirt cheap. You’ll often find a variety of free applications that implement some form of advertising so you can get high quality content with an ad once in a while. Dear consumer: You’ve set the standard on how you want to pay for applications. This is the answer, and it’s geared to help developers make some extra money so they can continue to deliver you more great applications. I truly believe this is a money tree.
Bing and Farmville Coming to the iPhone
Amongst all the announcements made by Steve Jobs at the WWDC 2010 keynote, two of them haven’t exactly got the spot they deserve: Bing and Farmville are coming to the iPhone.
iMovie for iPhone 4, Your Perfect Mobile Editing Rig
Something I’ve been impressed with since the 3GS was Apple’s video editing software. Their mobile solutions for recording and editing videos have been generally fantastic, and today, it’s gotten really good. iMovie will become an integral part of your iPhone experience, because who doesn’t want to take advantage of that 720p video camera? The whole setup is gorgeous.
