IPhone phones shock the technology village

A Wi-Fi phone named iPhone has just been launched, but under the brand . Linksys. The incident took place just weeks before Apple planned to release a music phone model with the same name.

The Linksys iPhone wireless phone allows users to listen to and call free (or cheap) Internet phone calls through Skype's VoIP service. Instead of a traditional mobile network, it relies on Wi-Fi wireless networks to connect. Once online, the phone will use Skype software to make a call.

Meanwhile, for several months now, the world press has repeatedly reported that Apple is about to enter the mobile phone market. The model that is "selected for gold" is a "phone" that integrates the features of the famous iPod music player, and it will be named Apple by Apple.

This coincidence is staggering the tech village, not knowing that Linksys is unintentional or intentional. People are also uneasy about whether Apple can still keep the iPhone name for its first phone model, when it was hit early like this.

According to the US Copyright and Trademark Ministry, the name iPhone is now proprietary to Cisco, and if so, assuming Apple is developing a real music phone, the iPhone name will be permanent. can be set.
Analysts "fall back"

Integrating VoIP services into mobile phone models is becoming a popular trend among manufacturers and mobile networks.

Apple has never confirmed or denied that it is developing a mobile phone, but analysts have always predicted that "iPhone" will be announced by Apple in January in San Francisco.

Many experts predict that Apple will launch a service that combines mobile phone features with iPods to dominate the market.

But now, with Linksys' move, no one is quite sure that Apple's "iPhone" model will be merely a VoIP phone or a real mobile phone.

Going further, Jupiter analyst Thomas Husson also said that even if it was released, no Apple phones would have a big impact on the mobile market.

This is an extremely competitive market. Apple will need time to "penetrate" and penetrate, "Husson said. Most likely, Apple will sell phones directly to consumers, not through mobile networks. That means users will have to pay a pretty high price.

" Apple needs to offer at an attractive price if it wants to make an initial breakthrough ."
