Iphone

I know what you're thinking, the iphone isn't forgotten or unseen right? Apple's iphone isn't but InfoGear's is. Back in 1998 Infogear released an iphone that was a phone/computer. It came with a keyboard that could slide out of the base and it also had a touchscreen. All you could use the screen for was internet (which wasn't very good in 1998) and it had an email application also. Later on InfoGear was bought by Cisco and they never made a new version of the iphone. When Apple made their iphone in 2007 Cisco filed a lawsuit against them. It was later settled so they could both use the name in exchange for exploring interoperabilty between Apple's products and Cisco's services.
