Cisco Systems has filed a lawsuit against Apple in Federal court claming Cisco owns the iPhone trademark. Apple displayed the much talked Apple iPhone at the MacWorld trade show in San Francisco and announced its official launch in June this year. However, the lawsuit says Apple has no right to use the neame iPhone.

Cisco says it has held the trademark on the name iPhone since 2000 when it acquired InfoGear Technology Co. InfoGear has originally registered the name.

Linksys, Ciscos division applied the trademark to develop an IP phone called iPhone just three week ago for VoIP calls.

However, an Apple spokesperson Natalie Kerris termed the suit silly saying a number of companies are using the name iPhone for VoIP products.

My friend Naveen made an excellent coverage on Apples iPhone. In his 1230 words article, he tried to explore every aspects of this much-hyped Apple device. So, why am I talking these things in the VoIP blog? In my opinion, Apple iPhone will be taking VoIP into the next phase of development.

Soon after, Apple announced his coveted iPhone, JAJAH has declared that it would develop its software to support the iPhone in June 2007. It means that iPhone customers will be able to make free or low-cost global VoIP calls using JAJAH services.

Upbeat Daniel Mattes, cofounder of JAJAH proclaimed,

JAJAH believes people should be able to make long-distance VoIP calls from any handset they want. By adding the iPhone to our list of supported phones, we hope to be able to delight millions of Apple users around the world.

Launched in February this year, the Austria-based JAJAH has emerged as one of the promising VoIP set ups challenging Skype, Vonage and other established VoIP players.

On contrary to Skype or Vonage, JAJAH provides its VoIP services without Internet connection. Now it has nearly 1.2 million subscribers. I except the subscribers base would increase tremendously once it makes its services available for iPhone.
