The iPhone won't iFlop..

Part iPod part mobile phone the 'iPhone' (previously iFlop) is apples latest brainchild. 'iPhone' is a registered trademark of Cisco Systems, which sells a variety of products under that brand. Apple has been negotiating with Cisco about licensing the iPhone name, so they can hardly claim ignorance of the trademark, yet this week they announced the product without such a license and of course Cisco filed a lawsuit in response. As the trademark holder, Cisco had no choice, because to not file suit would have been to not defend the trademark, perhaps making it more vulnerable to poaching by Apple. Apple have since resolved the dispute and unusually Cisco System products and Apple iPhone range will be called "iPhone".
