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.

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

I doubt it will be called that for long if Cisco's lawyers have anything to do with it.

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.

Mr Jobs also ran through changes made to the fourth release of the iPhone operating system, now called iOS
