Apple versus Cisco

in December 2006, Cisco (Linksys) launched a new product called the 'Iphone'. This week, Apple launched the much anticipated 'iPhone'. This resulted in speculations on the Internet. Is Apple allowed to use the word 'iPhone' for the new gadget?

Lawyers say that Apple might be heading for a huge lawsuite over the term 'iphone'... Why? Because it seems that Cisco canceled the patent on the word 'iphone'. Just another way of generating lots of free publicity if you ask me.

Just search for 'iphone', and see for yourself.
