iThis and iThat

When Apple launched the iPhone, Cisco cried foul regarding the name. They filed a lawsuit against Apple for copyright infringement. Even though Cisco owned the trademark rights to the name, they lost the case because of minor technicalities. Now with the launch of Apple's iPad, it's Fujitsu's turn to cry foul.

Apple's predictable naming scheme ― iABC, iXYZ, iBlahBlah ― means that if you register a trademark for a name with an "i" prefix (and release some product with that name), you could file a lawsuit when Apple decides to use that name, right? I think somebody should go ahead and register iShirt. Wearable computers are the future.
