Another company called Infogear had a product called an iPhone, and Cisco bought the company. Cisco then stopped selling the iPhone in 2001, basically abandoning "iPhone."
Then in mid 2006 all the hype about an Apple iPhone started up. Cisco's iPhone trademark had expired, but they were still in a grace period where they could save it, and they would need to declare under penalty of perjury that they'd been using the trademark during that period, and submit an example of the trademark in use.
One little problem: No product had been sold with the name since 2001. So Cisco took a Linksys CIT200 VOIP phone box, literally slapped an "iPhone" sticker on top of the shrinkwrap on the back, and sent a picture of that with their renewal paperwork to the USPTO as evidence of their currently-shipping product just days before the final expiration. They wouldn't release an actual iPhone-branded product until seven months later.
This was outright fraud on the USPTO, which is probably why Cisco basically gave up on a vague, worthless promise of looking into future interoperability.
I don't know Brazilian trademark law, but it looks like they registered it back in 2000 and then sat on it, not releasing anything until 2012. This is not what trademarks are for. They are to protect a product or a soon upcoming product. In this case the Brazilian company wants to ride on the iPhone fame created by Apple using trademark, exactly the opposite of what they're for.
This is kind of what happened with Cisco. Cisco had basically abandoned the iPhone name and fraudulently renewed at the last minute after hype had started about an Apple iPhone.
And it'll be the first one the average person actually likes to use.
Other comments about the Pebble around here show why, with descriptions such as "rudimentary." If Apple does this, it'll be expensive and locked in for sure, but it'll be the first one that really works seamlessly.
It's been this way for a very long time -- any amount of force. If the force necessary force open a window constitutes a crime, then why not the force necessary to just open a window to break in? Or to just open it a bit more to allow you to get through. Either way, you had to use some amount of force to enter the premises, which is breaking.
Unless the door was wide open, it's breaking and entering. Even the force needed to open a door is considered the "breaking" part -- you used force to illegally enter a residence. If it can be shown you did so with intent to commit a crime, then that is burglary. If you did this for a dozen different residences (as a dozen different email accounts) then the individual charges pile up.
Most phones have a very small sensor, while digital SLRs have much larger ones. All else being equal, a larger sensor can sense more light with less noise. Yes, you're not going to fit the 40mm sensor of an SLR into a camera where it's usually around 3mm.
The Qur'an does not come out and state that apostates should be killed.
Nice try, it's Hadith that says to put them to death.
Some Islamic nations have that in their legal systems, but it is not an intrinsic part of their religion.
Some? Apostasy is a crime in over a dozen Islamic nations representing a good chunk of the world's Muslim population. Muslim states are unique in the world for criminalizing apostasy.

Webster's: "to appear to be; look like: He looked a perfect fool, coming to the party a day late. "
"Looked a perfect fool." Very apt for this discussion.
I do it exactly that way, but add a "time remaining" number that can go up or down.
Nice try. A definition of "look" is "to appear to be."
Again, a dictionary is your friend. Don't act so niggardly with the brain cells.
"Just look at the world around you. It's incontrovertible proof that God exists!"
Seriously, I hear that one a lot.
These people consider the existence of the Christian god to be a proven fact.
Read a dictionary. You may look less stupid.
2.5 Don't die
So in other words, you're just too lazy to look up a legal dictionary. Are there any other simple words you need help with?

Proof is not part of the definition.
If you had to move the door a millimeter in order to enter, it's breaking and entering.
Unless the door was wide open, it's breaking and entering. Even the force needed to open a door is considered the "breaking" part -- you used force to illegally enter a residence.

What I want to know is where I can get the one that allows you to zoom in infinitely and refine a sharp image out of a few pixels.
Wait until normal peak usage, turn everything off for a bit and keep it off, then turn everything on at the same time. Collapse the grid.

Horses for courses, that's all. Most people don't need what you listed, but those who do obviously won't get an iPad.
Do I want to do that with my iPad? No.
Although you can do sqlite with an iPad, or any iOS device for that matter. It's part of the OS.
Ah, but in hot weather you have automatic air conditioning, just need to blow a fan by the cylinder into the passenger compartment.
So we just happen to schedule our interceptor test at the same time they schedule their rocket test?
4th huh? Didn't Iraq have the 4th largest military in the world before 1991?

Funny thing is, they do not consider the execution of apostates to be against freedom of religion. There's some warped logic behind that.
