I must admit that I was wrong in my yesterday’s post as I stated that Apple wouldn’t name ‘iPhone’ its expected new all-in-one device. Surprisingly, Apple has done it as announced in MacWorld Expo!

Surprisingly because ‘iPhone’ is a registered trademark of Cisco Systems. All right, you could think that Cisco has just licensed their trademark to be used by Apple but in fact they recently launched their own iPhone through Linksys. Anybody understands? Will we see future legal litigations?

Linksys’ iPhone is commercially available while Apple’s iPhone is still waiting to be authorized by the Federal Communications Commission but I guess Cisco and Apple will reach, if not yet, an agreement. After all, it’s just a question of money. What comes next? Only time will tell.
