Seriously...

They are in negotiations and Apple just goes ahead with it. LOL Please, what arrogance.

Back a number of years ago when Chevrolet introduced the Baretta, they were sued by the Baretta gun mfg citing that GMs use diluted their brand.

As I recall, GM won that argument at least in part because the two products are no where near close in function, and the liklihood one would buy a car when they meant to buy a gun is, well, just dumb.

Here Apple is trying to split hairs. The basic function of both of these devices is as a PHONE. Cisco has the trademark on it, Apple knew it but went ahead anyway.

Stupid. Of course I could be remembering that GM thing all wrong at which point add it as more example of stupidity in the interpretation/application of law.
