While the name already existed, Apple has secured "iPhone" for their technological advancements. Cisco, who originally coined the name for their "internet-connected phone" in 2000, dropped their lawsuit against Apple, agreeing to allow Apple to use the term "iPhone" for their "much anticipated multimedia device, which combines the features of a mobile phone, an iPod and a BlackBerry" (New York Times). While Apple will begin to use the name, Cisco will continue to apply it to their product as well. In fact, the companies will be working "together 'in the areas of security and consumer and enterprise communication'" (New York Times).
How will we incorporate this in!? :)

Jessica, did you watch the movie on the apple site introducing the iPhone? Amazing.
Maybe the iPhone, which includes many different features like Internet access, is the beginning of the virtual tablets students may have in the future. If students have Internet access available to them all of the time, they will always be able to find out new information.
I think we'll have to wait and see about the success, popularity, and durability of these new phones before we make any assumptions about their uses in the classroom.
