Regret not tracking the discussion more closely, but I used the quotes to indicate a class of product rather than a specific brand name. Whatever its called, it is an “iPhone” and that was the term Jobs used in the presentation.

I note the market has closed, by date/time I guess, but am working on making sure the close price is as the contract specified.

since the contract specifies “iPhone” in quotes, i don’t think that the actual trademark is part of the contract. i think the meaning is that apple will enter the cellphone market with some kind of phone device, whatever the name. or am i misinterpreting the contract?

It probably can’t be called iPhone since Cisco owns that trademark and has already released an iPhone product.

I’m assuming that because you put “iPhone” in quotations, that the phone must be called an “iPhone?”

There are rumours that Apple has ordered iPhone (an Apple-branded cellular handset) hardware and “The most recent rumours claim Apple CEO Steve Jobs may show the handset off at Macworld Expo early in January 2007. If it is just one handset – it’s been widely speculated that Apple may have two mobile phone models up its sleeve.”

If an iPhone is announced the cash-out value will be set to $100 as soon as the announcment is made, otherwise shareprice will be $0.
