On behalf of Fujitsu (PDF), Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, and Coconut Grove Intimates (now defunct, even the WayBackMachine couldn’t help me) I would like to put forth the following open letter to Steve Jobs and Apple Computers. I shall be as brief as my predecessor.
Change your devices name. Not that big of a deal.
Look familiar to you? It is (except for one word change) exactly the reply Mr. Jobs gave to the developers of iPodRip, now called simply iRip.
I mean come on Steve, it’s “not that big of a deal” right? Oh what? You have already done all of the code which mentions iPad? You already have spent lots of money on marketing with the name iPad? Well I am sure The Little App Factory didn’t do that at all so maybe this is different?
