Starting in around 2004, many analysts and [[blog]]gers interested in Apple Computer speculated that the company might release a [[mobile phone]] with [[music]] capabilities similar to its popular [[iPod]] music player. They commonly used the term "iPhone" to describe the speculated device, in keeping with the naming convention seen previously with the Apple [[iMac]] and [[iPod]] product lines.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.boston.com/business/personaltech/articles/2007/01/03/core_of_apples_new_iphone/ |title=Core of Apple's new iPhone? |work=Boston Globe |last=Johnson |first=Carolyn Y |date=2007-01-03 |accessdate=2007-01-07}}</ref> However, [[Cisco Systems]] has a pre-existing trademark on the term. There is no word yet on how that will affect the Apple device. |
