Yes, Virginia, there is an iPhone
Yes, Virginia, there is an iPhone -- sort of. Cisco's Linksys brand launched an Internet phone today called iPhone as part of their Voice Over IP series of products. Of course, this product bears no resemblance to the product whose rumored introduction in the next month or so is currently whipsawing Apple's predicted fortunes lately. But I'm sure Gizmodo enjoyed the buzz they created.
Given the presence of this product we now know something very clear: Apple's phone won't be called an iPhone; someone else has already claimed that brand.
