Cisco beats Apple to the punch

A recent article describes Cisco's latest gadget. It is called "The iPhone". Yes Cisco has the trademark for the name iPhone so Apple is out of luck using that name for there supposed new phone. Cisco released the phone under there Linksys division. So now what should Apple call there phone. My suggestion is "iCon" as in connection. It keeps you connected to the rest of the world and the silly pun can't be missed. For better or worse.

Link to story.

That won't work, Stitch! A book came out called "ICon" about Steve Jobs, and I understand there were some unflattering parts! How about the "iComm" for "I communicate"?

I can't believe that Apple let that one get away from them, Gents! Crazy! Well, I would think that something along the lines of 'iCall' or dropping the 'i' altogether and calling it 'PhonePod' would work.

I heard Cisco has had the patent for years! Apple may not have forseen an entry into the phone market that long ago!
