SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Cisco Systems Inc. said Wednesday it is suing Apple Inc. in federal court over Apple's use of Cisco's registered iPhone trademark for its new handheld device.Cisco has owned the trademark on the name "iPhone" since 2000, when it acquired InfoGear Technology Corp., which originally registered the name.

That's strange because yesterday I read that the two were in talks to let Apple use the name.
I would have thought Apple would just use iPhone knowing that someone else has the name and that they released their iphone just a few weeks ago.
