iPhone was launched by… Linksys
Linksys, a division of leading communications firm Cisco Systems, announced its family of voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP) iPhone devices and Cisco has apparently had the trademark on the name since the 90s.
The new family of phones includes models compatible with Skype and Yahoo! Messenger and can be used to call traditional landlines as well as use such services as Skype, SkypeOut, SkypeIn and Skype voicemail. In addition, some of the phones support various multimedia capabilities as well as Web browsing.
