Yeah, and if i remember, cisco's patent is like 10 years old, no way that apple can say cisco was trying to capitalize on the ipod iname thing.
Belive it or not Cingular is a sweet union job. Also you get unlimted minutes nd a free phone. Basically if apple gets sued it will be similar to the ntp, rim case. Rim settled and played ntp alot of money.
If cisco was gonna do it and had the technology and process for tenn years why did they sit on it. Basically cisco can only sue or the idea. If they win waht apple made and continues to make will far out weigh what they have to pay in they lose suit.
Basically its like robbing a band serving ten years hiding the money and when you come out of prison wow instant one million. Apple knew what they were doing but the pros far out weighed the cons a calculated risj if you will.
it's close to the rim - ntp thing, except that was over technology, this is pretty much over a name. they don't want confusion because both deal with a phone and the internet.
apparently apple and cisco were playing nice and then they were like yeah right, whateva, we're suing you, and then apple was like, bring it on, and then cisco was like it's already be broughten, and then apple was like whateva, and then cisco was like thong, th-thong, thong, thong.
im sorry but reading comprhension owns you. They own the name, Iphone. BAM!
