Think about it. Jobs gave a voice to every idiot on the planet. We wouldn’t be here had the smartphone remained a tool for business types or a toy for nerds.

    Symbian S60 phones were basically smartphones with java apps, I remember browsing the web at large before there was even a browser in the first iphone.

        Yup, what I meant is that we were already on track of everyone having a computer with internet on their pocket, even if not as capable as the iphone at first.

        Blackberries were already there and pioneered a lot of the technologies that made mobile networks possible.

          Really the only thing the iPhone did is make those things more consumer friendly rather than business focused.
