But there's still a bit of unfinished business remaining for Apple's new iPhone: getting permission from Cisco Systems to use the name iPhone.

It turns out that Cisco holds the trademark on "iPhone", the name Cisco's Linksys division gave to a wireless phone it introduced in mid-December.

Cisco and Apple have been in negotiations on this for weeks and Cisco said they expect to have a signed agreement in a couple days.

Although Apple and Cisco have been in talks for quite some time over the iPhone name, no agreement was ever reached. Nevertheless, Apple boldly decided yesterday to announce the iPhone at MacWorld. Cisco isn't too happy about the move and has filed a lawsuit against Apple, Inc

Still think it would be better to label it what it really is:

They also have this device coming out that can record TV shows, movies, anything and distribute it wirelessly throughout your network. Pretty intense shit...but like Ace said...too much money for a fad item.
