In 1999, InfoGear was overtaken by Cisco Systems (currently the largest networking company in the world), and so on the iPhone name and trademark changed owners. Starting in 2006, Cisco used the name for a VoIP telephone called Linksys iPhone The Basic purpose to invent the InfoGear iPhone was to have smaller, purpose-designed devices that would allow users to jump on the web and do web things without having to whip out a laptop or a PC.

Linksys, a unit of networking equipment maker Cisco Systems, introduced the new wireless internet phone just weeks before Apple was expected to launch a device widely expected to have a similar name.

                                    

The Linksys product allows users to make free or low-cost internet phone calls using the Skype Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service.
