iThink that Steve Jobs miGht be iN trouble with the namiNg of the new apple mac iPhone. AccordiNg to yahoo news Cisco systems are suiNg Apple Inc. over the use of the term "iPhone".

San Jose-based Cisco, the world's largest network-equipment maker, has owned the trademark on the name "iPhone" since 2000, when it acquired InfoGear Technology Corp., which originally registered the name.

After all the commotion of Apple not wanting people to use the word "pod" when naming things, this smacks of getting a taste of your medicine. Even though that Apple don't own the TM on the name, I think that they have a good chance of getting away with it. Although I'm no copyright lawyer, what do you think of when you here iphone? Cisco Systems? InfoGear? No you think apple mac don't you? iPhone has sunk into popular consciousness as being the mythical coolest mobile phone possible.

As in domain name cyber squatting, can one Trademark squat? Maybe Apple should countersue. :)
