Linksys iPhone - Internet Phones with WiFi, Without Apple

Tuesday December 19, 2006
| Commentary | This week, Linksys formally announced its iPhone family of Internet phone products. Actually, 5 of the 7 offerings in this product line are nothing new. The CIT200 / 300 / 310 cordless and WIP300 / 330 IP phones have been shipping for some time. The new entries - CIT400 and WIP320 - are designed specifically to improve access to the Skype VoIP network.

But what seems to have everyone abuzz about this particular product announcement seems to be all be the name, not the technology. Apparently many folks were hoping to see an Apple Internet phone announcement instead. Even though Apple can't officially use the same name, rumors of an Apple iPhone persist.
