iPhoneyGate Finale: Cisco and Apple Hug it Out and Share the iPhone Name

It was just announced that Apple and Cisco will share the usage of iPhone.
The companies said they reached an agreement that will allow Apple to use the name for its sleek new multimedia device in exchange for exploring wide-ranging "interoperability" between the companies' products in the areas of security, consumer and business communications. No other details of the agreement were released.

Yahoo Tech's Chris Null received a reviewable engineering sample of DLink's revolutionary GSM/VOIP combo cellphone two days after the whole iPhoneyGate scandal went down, and the SSID was set to "LinksysSucks."
