Everybody in the cell phone industry designed smartphones well before Apple. I am and was in the industry and we used to sit around wondering “what is the killer app for data” which would make the public do what we knew they must do, flock to smartphones.
Then the iPhone came out and solved the problem. After every major player and many startups had taken their shot at it.
