iPhone ad on 5th Ave. Apple Store One user has posted a photo of Apple's new iPhone ad as it was erected upon one surface of the company's glass cube atop its Fifth Ave. New York Apple Store. The advertisement clearly depicts a hand holding up the Cupertino-based company's forthcoming iPhone -- which is slated for shipment in June -- along with the phrase "Introducing iPhone. Apple reinvents the phone." Viacom sues YouTube for $1 billion Viacom today filed a lawsuit against YouTube for $1 billion in damages, and is seeking an injunction against any further Viacom-related content from reaching the video sharing site. The suit erupted after Viacom -- which owns MTV, Nickelodean, and other major TV and film studios -- claimed YouTube was not satisfactorily removing illegally pirated content from its site. "YouTube's strategy has been to avoid taking proactive steps," read an official Viacom statement. "Their business model, which is based on building traffic and selling advertising off of unlicensed content, is clearly illegal." Apple Russia speaks on iPhone Apple's Russia IMC president Evgeniy Bootman recently spoke with Vzglyad -- a local newspaper -- answering questions related to global iPhone issues. The iPhone's launch is reportedly determined by availability of iTunes stores in particular countries, and Russia will likely receive the second-generation iPhone upon its initial launch there. Bootman also said Apple still hasn't decided on a business model for iPhone's distribution in Europe, and that the Cupertino-based company isn't worried about iPhone clones and imitations.
