Share This - Apple, News

So i have been away to long i see, well I sort of got my wow addiction under control and I am back in the seat again to start working on my blog again. Sadly I havent realy been into reading all the submitted mail and news but i hope to do so within the next few days.

But just wanted to share this with you, Apple Launches iPad? It looks cool but is it a breakthrough in apple technology or just a fase apple is going through? Well here a shot of the iPad which looks like a extra large iPhone :-)

Well havent read up on all technical stuff yet but one thing I did found out that Apple wasnt the first to register the name “iPad”. Technology-Freaks all over the world were amazed and some dazzled when the iPad (is over sized iPhone with decent laptop capabilities) was launched. Now it seems that other companies had registered the name iPad long before Apple did.

Siemens for example uses the name iPad for little micro engines which are build in consumer products like phones. Although the name iPad is registered in Japan, Siemens also claims to have it registered internationally as well.

Slate Computing is a american company which also has registered the name iPad with the Japanese autorities. They are using the name for their metronomic computers, cellphones and electric gadgets.

Last but not least you have Fijistu thats also claiming to have the name iPad registered and has been using it since 2002.

Will Siemens, Slate Computing or Fijistu take actions against Apple, is yet unknown.
