Well, I tend to think that Sipura's products will come out ahead here. For example, when Cisco bought Linksys, one might have expected them to cripple or shut them down - after all, Linksys makes routers, and Cisco makes routers. Obviously that didn't happen, because Cisco saw an opportunity in having a "low-end" SOHO product line, and a high-end "enterprise" line. I think the same will happen with Sipura.
Cisco makes excellent, well-designed, but expensive IP phones. Sipura makes good low-end products. Despite the fact that you can pick up a router at most any electronics or office supply store for $20, Linksys continues to be successful. I see no reason that Sipura won't do the same, in the face of the imminent flood of cheap IP phones. Assuming that Cisco gives them the money and room to innovate.
I was hoping that SIPura would add PoE, a second Ethernet port, and improve the speakerphone (SPA-814). I doubt that Cisco will add these features because then they will compete with the high end Cisco products.
