iPhone cannot get hotter than this as now even softphone are getting inspired by apple iphone. We already know that the fight over the trademark has just ended with both the companies agreeing to use the trademark jointly but a company named Xnet Communications has taken 'inspiration' from the whole episode and developed a soft phone for making VoIP calls by the name of iSoftPhone. The designing of the phone has been lifted or a better word would be inspired from Apple iPhone. It also has the words iPhone in the name of its softphone i.e. iSoftPhone. This will surely catch the attention of both the companies since now they are free from the controversy over iPhone trademark.
Xnet Communications stated:
This is no half-baked Apple Java-compatible program nor is it a port of any Windows or Linux version. We have tried to provide some fun by making a skin which is strangely familiar to a product unveiled at the MacWorld Expo. This is a pure Mac implementation for Mac users only. Therefore user experience is set on top of the powerful telephony engine.
The company states that it is not some half baked stuff but how may of us would agree with this statement. Chances are that sooner or later Apple and Cisco will surely run after Xnet Communications. Is Apple or Cisco reading this?

The iSoftPhone had been in development for nearly 18 months before iPhone was released. While the softphone’s skin may look strangely familiar, the application itself is designed specifically for OS X. It has not been ported from another platform, it is a pure Mac implementation.
Some other skins are available for viewing here and we shall be shortly offering companies the opportunity to have their own cusotmized branded softphone.

It’s identical to the iphone with different skin/interface, no doubt. Everyone wants a piece of iphone.
There is no way apple will let Xnet get away with this iphone clone.
