Soon to find its way to your iPhone homescreen, the AppStore logo is the subject of Apple's latest venture through the US Patent and Trademark Office, highlighting once again the Cupertino company's strong-handed control of each element that makes up the iPhone ecosystem. The icon itself resembles OS X Leopard's Application folder, with the 'A' made up of a paintbrush, pencil and ruler, and will be included as part of the ...

At this rate, we'll see the iPhone on the market before we hear a resolution to this matter. Then again, you never know, maybe Cisco wants to put it off that long. The stronger the sales, the more they are likely to get out of it if they win.
However, the cause is more likely that the two companies are currently in negotiations. If that is true, then we will hopefully ...
