Apple and Cisco Call it Tuths

Now who expected this lawsuit to be over so quickly? Apple has agreed to the exploration of "interoperability in the areas of security, and consumer and enterprise communications" according to WSJ. Although what that may mean is uncertain but we will surely find out soon. Steve Jobs wanted sole ownership of the name but the settlement entitles both companies to use the name "iPhone". This could be golden for Cisco because the key term "interoperability" could mean that Cisco could be involved in developments in the iPhone, maybe interoperability with both flavors of iPhone. We'll just have to what and see what comes of this settlement, but I'm almost certain that Apple will once again try to rid Cisco of the name next time much more forcibly.[Engadget]
