Apple and Cisco settle.
Here's
one we didn't exactly see coming: Apple and Cisco
have settled that "silly" lawsuit, with Apple
agreeing to guarantee the exploration of
"wide-ranging 'interoperability' between the
companies' products in the areas of security,
consumer and business communications" according to
the
WSJ.
We don't know exactly what that means, but it doesn't
sound fantastic for Jobs, who we're sure wanted to
have exclusivity over the name without cutting a
partnership with Cisco, and didn't want to have to
pay a red cent for it. But this does sound a lot like
what Cisco wanted initially from Apple, and might
possibly wind up in some kind of SIP / VoIP solution
that allows iPhones and iPhones to communicate.
Apparently both will make use of the trademark in the
market (i.e. Apple's and Cisco's iPhones will both
continue to be iPhones), and all's well that ends
non-litigious.
