iPhone Announced- Just Not by Apple
So, the iPhone was announced yesterday, just not by Apple. Apparently, Cisco had a trademark on the name of the “iPhone” since the beginning of their VOIP phones in the 1990s. Unfortunately for Apple, Apple will no longer be able to market their forthcoming cell phone as the “iPhone”, but will be forced to use less interesting names such as the “MacPhone” or the “ApplePhone.” Cisco announced the iPhone Dual-Mode Internet Telephony Kit for Skype CT400 ($180), which is basically a Skype Handset, as well as the iPhone Wireless-G Phone for Skype WIP320 ($200), which is a SIP VOIP phone.
