Wonder what were apple thinking when they used iphone which clearly belonged to Cisco. http://gizmodo.com/#!227504/cisco-is-expecting-signed-agreem...
These names are so common and apple fighting over is lame.

Their agreement was pretty mild-- cisco wanted apple to support its VPN technology on the iPhones which they did.
Apple generally, if it finds someone else owns a name it wants that doesn't already infringe on one of Apple's names, buys the name from them.
It doesn't just copy the name and wait to be sued, as Amazon did here.
