    Have Apple cocked up?

    BBC News - Apple shows off redesigned iPhone

    Mr Jobs also ran through changes made to the fourth release of the iPhone operating system, now called iOS
    I doubt it will be called that for long if Cisco's lawyers have anything to do with it.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

    Cisco one is a capital 'I'.

    I'd think IBM would have more claim to it seeing as iOS runs the system i.

      Hmmm, no I don't. Considering the due diligence they went through with the Beatles.

      They'll have a team of lawyers checking out their trademarks etc.

        It's "IBM i" now isn't it?

        Anyways, had a google, apparently Apple have actually licensed the name from Cisco. I wonder what that cost.

        I'm actually a little surprised they bothered, as they used the iPhone trademark without asking.

          It seems everyone is suing everyone else at the moment. here, here, here, and that's just off one online mag's front page.
