Apple CEO Steve Jobs asks MyiPhone's blogger to find new domain.

Seemingly, Apple CEO Steve Jobs didn't so busy anymore. As a result, he has enough time to watch out iPhone domain names which might be used by other parties, especially beyond his permission or approval.

So, he found one: MYiPhone.com. This is "the Unofficial Apple iPhone Community" blog, handled by my colleague Vincent Nguyen. MYiPhone is part of Aradius Media Network.

Nguyen, one of the guys behind SlashGear, SlashPhone, MYiPhone and Unbox.IT (among others), who admitted as a fan of the Apple founder for a long time, finally met Steve recently. But too bad, the situation was not like as he expected.

He said:

Man, I’ve looked up to him for years. Hero-worship gets a bad press, but if it makes me an Apple fanboy then I guess I’m a fanboy. As you can tell from the coverage here on MYiPhone, the majority of which has been glowingly positive of Apple’s first solo cellphone attempt, we’re big believers in the device and the company ethos. So when I got to meet Steve at D5 the other day, I was like a kid on Christmas morning again (only with less egg-nog). I almost expected an Apple-flavored electric shock when we shook hands; what I didn’t expect was to get slapped with a legal threat.

Turns out, Steve isn’t such a great fan of MYiPhone as we are about the phone itself. His comment to me about the site was “I recommend you changing the name, we have a team of lawyers to go after that kind of stuff.” Well, you could’ve knocked me over with a Mac mini. He mentioned that we should change it to anything other than iPhone in the name. He suggested something like mydreamphone.

But wait, says Nguyen,

Thinking about it, though, the situation is of course slightly different with the iPhone. Here, Apple don’t actually own the trademark - Cisco does.

Actually, for blogger Nguyen, this is just another domain name disputes. In a similar dispute, he's already scored one victory against Motorola.

Hopefully this case could be solved wisely.

"Despite the fact Steve Jobs is not very nice to us, well it's okay, he personally invited us to the upcoming WWDC," Ewdison Then, Aradius Media Network president, who also met Steve together with Nguyen, told me recently via a messenger conversation.
