My_Aiphone

You know what? I just realized yesterday I was a lucky & happy « AiPhone » owner! In fact, since Tuesday 24th I have been in France for Easter holidays so I have decided to spend some days in my flat in Lille (North of France). The other day, while my friend was ringing my intercom so I would open the door for her, I noticed for the first time the brand of this such trivial device and consequently the name of the company which manufactured it ; it was such a surprise when I noticed that I already had an Aiphone ;-) Furthermore, the same day by coincidence I learnt that Apple had been negociating since last year with Aiphone, Japan’s largest intercom maker - based in Nagoya, in order to find a satisfactory agreement for both companies to use the name iPhone fairly (the pronunciation and the spelling are the same in Japanese), when the "Jesus Phone" will be released in few months on the japanese cellphones market. As a present for you I have taken a shot of my revolutionary and ultra-sophisticated Aiphone GF-1MD... Please, don't be jealous!!!
