No, not really Trevor.  It is common knowledge that Apple has owned the
iphone.org domain, but CISCO has had the iPhone trademark for over 10 years
now.  They decided to partner with linksys to produce the new phone.   It
has been media sources that referred to the "upcoming apple phone device" as
the iPhone, not apple.  It will have another, probably better name.  The "I"
stuff is really getting a bit stale anyway.
Apple did file for iPhone t-marks in other countries though.
But it has been generally known inside certain circles that the iPhone
moniker would/will not be used for apple's new phone device.
