Amusant ces iBox... Mais pour les conflits de marque, il doit exister des 10ène d'iBox dans le monde (tous les i-quelque chose doivent être déjà pris). Pour avoir conflit il faudrait que les autres iBox soient exactement dans le même créneau (les URL ci-dessus ce ne sont que des boîtes en plastique). Et puis iBox c'est le nom du produit selon la rumeur, alors il faudrait que le produit existe et qu'il porte effectivement ce nom... On a encore le temps d'en parler :-)

C'est la première fois que je lis une rumeur sur cette iBox. Quelqu'un a
déjà lu d'autres rumeurs de ce type ?
Il risque d'y avoir des conflits de marques déposées :
