    iPhones literally were visionary. The whole industry was trying to imitate blackberry and overnight apple made them completely irrelevant. Android ch

    MacBooks, yea, it’s a laptop. They had some really good ideas in there, sure. MagSafe and touchpads that didnt royally suck ass were welcome features. The M-series lighting a fire under intels ass was exactly what the entire industry needed. Love them more hate them, even when Apple is bad, they create good trouble in an industry that needed to be proven wrong from time to time.

      What was the innovation in the iPhone?

      It was worse in almost every way except marketing than the n900.

      The technology had reached the point where you could have smartphones by then, I don’t see what was innovative about iPhones.

      You can call it visionary, sure because he spread his vision for a locked down phone, but where is the innovation in the iPhone?

        the n900 was released two years after the iphone. it was modeled on the iphone from the start, like the entire industry was. (and the n900 still didn’t support multi-touch, which Apple patented.)

          The n900 was an interation in the n800, but sure how that can be modeled on the iPhone without time travel.

          Is the iPhones invocation patenting things?

            the n900’s changes to the n800 were modeled on the iPhone. the n800 is completely different: for one, the touch screen is activated by pressure, not touch. Are you arguing that the n800 is better than the iPhone 1?
