A few questions/thoughts:

- ericl, you stated that the Apple TV "supports a 720p Output via component." I thought component was limited to 480p? It looks like apple may have another lawsuit on its hands as well.

- Regarding the iPhone name, I think that much of the validity of the copyright depends on what a company does with the name. If Apple's iPhone becomes the best selling gadget/phone in the industry, I don't know if Cisco will be able to convince the courts of its exclusive rights to the name. Anyhow, it should be interesting to follow. And as Nod noted, Apple's not afraid of the law - despite the Beatles suit, Apple is still called Apple.

- Battery life is going to be the biggest problem. As a new owner of the new Motorola Q, I can tell you that something has to happen on the battery research front before these technologies can actually become useful. Imagine how pissed all former iPod owners will be when their iPhone craps out after three phone calls and 25 songs. And I'm sure that fancy new colorful interface and the Max OS will suck even more juice out that little battery. Battery technology research is hopelessly behind the rest of the technology.
