Oxford life. Thirtysomething challenges. Music leanings. Anything really.

Apple have released a new phone, it's called the Rockr phone, but the meeja are all calling it the iPhone. Coz of the iPod, see?

Apple have monoplised the little i, then.

It struck me that actually, most letters have been claimed:

1. a-frame
2. b-boy
3. c
4. d-list
5. eMail
6. fMail
7. gMail
8. h-bomb
9. iPhone, iPod
10. jay-zee
11. kPax
12. l
13. mBlox (technology company)
14. nGage
15. oRing
16. p45
17. qTips
18. r-Type
19. s-Type
20. t-bone
21. u-boat
22. v Festival
23. w
24. xGames, xTerra
25. y-Frame
26. z

Therefore, then, if I'm going to try and market myself as some hip new gadget I can only use c, l, w, or z.

wAndy? zAndy? lCotty? cGroover?

Hmmm, it's hardly going to convince the early adopters, is it?
