Apple and Cisco Have Worked Out iPhone Name
I wondered earlier today how Apple could use the name iPhone after we just saw Linksys announce their iPhone and we all discovered that Linksys/Cisco owned the iPhone trademark.
ZDNet’s Larry Dignan writes how Tom Krazit of News.com reports that Cisco and Apple were in discussions about the trademark for the past “several years” but were actually still in the negotiating phase today. Reportedly Cisco sent Apple some updated documents last night and expected an agreement from Apple today.
More evidence to support my wonderment at the secrecy / PR campaign master that Steve Jobs is. He doesn’t finalize any deal with Cisco before the Keynote because that would surely become public.
I’m sure some good money will change hands there, but I’m also sure it will be worth it for Apple, inc.
