Now that Cisco and Apple made peace... Both companies are now allowed to use the iPhone name worldwide. And they're looking into "interoperability and compatibility". (That's the thing Cisco wanted.) I guess Cisco knew from the beginning that they would let Apple use the name as well. They just wanted to somehow profit from Apple's halo, and now they probably can. Somehow. We'll have to see how that plays out. The good thing for Apple: They don't have to somehow divert all the huge buzz they've generated in January with the announcement of their iPhone towards 'some other name' like "iPod phone".
