Apple iPhone vs. Linksys iPhone

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

So I was checking Google the other day to figure out what sites are getting ranked for the word “iPhone” on Google. Not to my surprise, Apple, Wikipedia, CNET, Engadget, Gizmo, and YouTube were all in the top 10. But the funny thing was that Linksys’s iPhone was also in the top 10 for the word “iPhone.” I wonder what portion of people who are searching for iPhone on Google are going for Cisco’s iPhone and not Apple’s iPhone. The moral of story is while I understand there is an agreement between Cisco and Apple over the use of “iPhone,” if I were Cisco I would not humiliate my product by trying to use the popularity of iPhone to get some cheap traffic. After all, how many of us will end up buying Cisco’s iPhone instead of Apple iPhone?
