When people say iPhone, they are obviously going to mean the smexy new device from Apple.

Welp that whole “let’s call ourselves Apple ’cause we love them Beatles” worked out pretty well. Something tells me that at some point Cisco will give up on this whole iPhone thing. And the possibility of interoperability between the two companies sounds like a buncha hooey. (Not that I wouldn’t mind one thing: actual Mac support from Linksys and not having to degrade router firmware a few versions to get the damn thing to work right.)

I’m not crazy about the iPhone name; perhaps MacPod would’ve been better.

The name caught on too quickly. With its current name recongition it had to be called iPhone.

Yeah I always thought the iPhone was a place holder type name. It almost sounds a little too cliche for them. I can understand the brand recognition a little, but seriously, would calling it something more creative really take away from their brand?

With you on the disappointment! It was extremely far-fetched to expect Apple to not call it the iPhone, but I was hoping that perhaps they would push the right buttons with Cisco to get them to just say f-it and drop negotiations and leave Apple with no chance at using the name… So much for that long-shot coming through, Apple barrels on through yet again, this time not to my satisfaction.
