A few short weeks ago I penned a piece here on VoIPWatch as to why Apple and Cisco would be working together.
This is the tip of the iceberg between the two companies. For weeks I have been saying on KenRadio and in private conversations that an Apple relationship will be important to Cisco, and vice versa.
Here's why:
1. Apple helps liven up the Linksys brand at retail with innovation, not me too products.
2. Cisco helps bring Apple into the enterprise market more easily.
After that it becomes a game of how long the two companies can play nice, something Apple has rarely done with any third party.
Long term bet---Cisco buys Apple when Steve Jobs has had enough and wants to ride off into the sunset a second time.
