Cisco owns the trademark to 'iPhone'. Apple had been in negotiations
with them to be allowed to use the name, but they didn't come to an
agreement before MacWorld. Jobs went ahead and announced the name as
'iPhone' anyway.
Now the lawyers will duke it out. I'd bet that, based on the initial
reaction to the iPhone (have you seen Apple's stock price these last
two days?), Cisco will be demanding much more than they could have
before the announcment.
