      To be fair, Apple had a PDA, the Newton, back in 1993… Not that it was the 1st again…

      I had one called the iPaq.

      Apple has since then made it illegal to trademark products starting with “i”. Irony.

      It wasn’t an entirely new concept but it completely redefined what it could be. Look up what Android looked like until the iPhone was demoed.

          Doesn’t look like a black rectangular piece of glass to me. I think the point they were making was that there was a design paradigm shift when the iPhone came out.

          iPhone was announced January 2007 and released in June. The phone you’re linking to was released September 2008.

          What was your point again?
