Photo gallery: Will the real iPhone please stand up?

Of course, there is an actual iPhone already on the market. This VoIP phone by Cisco's Linksys division has been around -- under the iPhone moniker -- since early last year. Last month, Linksys expanded the iPhone family with additional products.

The phone is the basis of a lawsuit filed by Cisco that charges Apple with infringing on its iPhone trademark. Cisco obtained the trademark in 2000 when it acquired Infogear, a small Redwood City, California, start-up that developed consumer devices that allowed people to easily access the Internet without a PC.

But Cisco's isn't the only iPhone on the block. A British company called Orate Telecommunications Services also offers a VoIP phone called an iPhone, and a San Jose, California, company called Teledex offers an iPhone for hotel rooms.
