15 - Cisco/Linksys's iPhone

Well, so the iPhone has been released. But wait? It isn't branded with an Apple logo. Then what happened? Well, it seems that Cisco/Linksys launched their line of VoIP hardware patented under that name, which they've held since 1990! However, there are 4 seperate patents filed with the name iPhone, and two have been initially refused, leaving the door somewhat open for Apple. So it could still very well be dubbed the iPhone. Nothing is certain until it comes from the lips of Steve Jobs. Continue to check back for updates.
