There is no question that Samsung named this device BlackJack to capture attention of those looking at the already established BlackBerry. As for Cisco using the name iPhone. They bought a company in 2000 that owned the trademark on the name, a play off of internet phone, from before that iPod existed. <a href="http://www.rimarkable.com/archives/1110" title="" rel="nofollow">Cisco is actually suing Apple for trademark infringement </a> The BlackJack is called the SGH-i320 in the UK.
