| And Cisco is right "It wasn't about the money" I believe that. At this point Cisco is probably mad Apple went ahead gung-ho calling it the iPhone when they were still negotiating, that usually has a tendency to piss the other side off, but it shouldn't be a surprise, its just Apple's true character coming out to play. I see a number of reasons the iPhone could potentially be a non-starter, this is just another one, as Cisco could slow this down for a while and I think Apple is too pig-headed to admit they stole somebody else's trademark and change the name. Silly, but you would expect nothing less from Steve Jobs.

Do you mean to imply that Steve Jobs has stolen so much, that it is expected behavior for him? Links to back up your point of view, please. Mr. Jobs, while being partly(but greatly) responsible for one of the most creative and dynamic companies ever, does have a little problem with arrogance. One need only return to the days of the sad and nasty CHRP debacle to get a good sense of the man and his ways.
This latest incident is blatant and egregious, especially when taken in light of Apple's defenses of its own trademarks, IP, and product information and plans. And no, I am hardly some frothing Cisco or Linksys enthusiast. That would not unlike being a toaster oven fanboy.
It's just kinda diverting to see a company that goes after small websites and startup companies with trade agreements and technology licenses getting hoist on their own petard.
Not unlike the ubiquitous monkey and bowling ball scenario. | |
