So while the rest of us were in an enthralled state of bliss at the announcement of the iPhone, the folks over at Cisco Systems were calling up their lawyers. For those of you unaware, Cisco (via it's brand Linksys) has its own "iPhone", released a few months back. No fancy touch screen, no iChat SMS, heck it's not even a cell phone. It's just your average VoIP phone, but that name sure is catchy. Lately there have been a lot of quips going back and forth concerning the merits of the forthcoming infringement suit. Below I've linked to some of the more interesting responses. I don't think there's much chance Apple is going to rename their product, but they may have to cut Cisco a hefty settlement check. What do you think? Bueller?
