Two problems
The first issue is that Cisco has filed suit for a federal trademark violation. That needs to resolved. As it is beyond doubt that Jobs violated the iPhone trademark, the only resolution from Apples perspective is to prove that Jobs violated a trademark that had been abandoned and therefore didn't exist.

The second problem is that iMobile is a common misspelling of immobile which doesn't exactly portray a great image for a mobile phone.

However I think that you are spot on, Apple should change the name and simply reach a limited out of court settlement with Cisco.
