Yes… according to a post on Slashdot:

So maybe Cisco didn’t trademark iPhone as an attack on Apple. But this is NOT good PR for them.

Either way, it looks really, really cool. Good thing my phone contract ends this year :D

If Cisco succeeds, I guess all those “iphone” domain names are near useless (well, except to Cisco, who will probably sue the owners to hand them over)
