iPhone OS 4 renamed to iOS 4, jailbroken on 1st day

Remember when the iPhone was just launched? There was a big fuss made between Apple and Cisco, who owns a Skype phone that is also named iPhone. Soon after, there was no more news about it, and apparently they had resolved the issue (which we can assume Cisco allows Apple to use the name iPhone, for some price).

During the WWDC, the iPhone OS was renamed iOS, and thus the naming of iOS 4. Well apparently, Cisco’s routers and switches run on an operating system that is built by Cisco, and its name is also iOS. So we’re assuming that Apple has been granted access to use the name iOS4. It seemed like Apple and Cisco is now buddies.

The new iOS 4 has been flowered with some 1,500 new features along with the name change, including biggies like multitasking, a unified inbox, app folders, and data detectors. Bing search integration has also been added to iOS 4 in addition to Google and Yahoo – Google is still the default, though.

Though the golden master is available to public, it has been jail-broken within the 1st day of its release. Irony isn’t it, or is this just a part of Apple’s play?
