KeyNote
Why do i think "keynote" is going to be used for a PDA, well for the fact that it is not being copyrighted to keep people from using it in there speeches it may be a new app but with a name like that it would make more sence for a PDA, think about it...
KeyNote: a key to your digital lifestyle and a Notepad to recored you life..
or
KeyNote: A form of taking notes that is simple and effective IE:"Graffity" but incapaculating both a PDA and it's handwriting software
or as a software
KeyNote: a script writing software..
it's just a idea

my idea...
I think Keynote would be a great name for an audio application... Didn't Apple purchase an Audio software company? I vaugely remember something abou that, but I can't find a link or anything. Did Apple do this, or did I make this up? If they did, an Apple-branded version of whatever app they made would sound good with the name "Keynote".

Re: my idea...
i think it might have something to do with this acquisition as well. (They acquired emagic earlier this year, july i think. they make Logic, an excellent audio sequencer which now runs beautifully on OS X!)
regarding the thread about what does the 'i' stand for: when the iMac was introduced several words were shown at the keynote, and that the 'i' in iMac stood for all of them. the ones i remember were Internet, Imagination, Individuality, and 'I'. at least i think those were included. there may have been others.

I guess it could be a PDA, but didn't apple say that PDAs were mutating into cell phones and that the PDA business was a dying business?
I think it's really going to come down to what is defined as a pda. Apple likes to try making their own rules and could very well deliver something that everyone else will call a pda but Apple will market as anything but that. The ipod to some extent could be considered a pda yet Apple doesn't admit to it being a pda.
Having a trademark doesn't necessarily mean Apple is going to use the name. It just means they have reserved the right in case they decide to do so. In the early 1970s, when IBM's PL/I programming language (pronounced "p-l-one") was especially popular, IBM reserved the rights to the names PL/2, PL/3, up to PL/99. I don't believe they ever produced a product with any of those names, however.
Gosh, you're right about IBM's new invention. IBM's patent claims that they invented

Gosh! I invented that years ago for use around the house. You say "tell me when you come out" to the person in there. I just never thought to patent it.

Hello forum. Long time listener, first time poster.
To those that think "Keynote" is an odd word to trademark, let's not forget about "Junkyard" and "Framistan". Both of these are Apple trademarks.
Personally, I can't wait until they release their PDA/GSM phone called "Framistan"
