  I already spend less than $1.50 on food most days, so it might be hard to get sponsors. If anyone is interested in specifics, my diet is similar to that of these people.

  Apple didn’t do anything that it wouldn’t have been easier for a larger more expert cell phone maker (Nokia, Motorola leap to mind) to do.

  Indeed, The Wall Street Journal reported that Nokia designed smartphones and tablets well before Apple:

  More than seven years before Apple Inc. rolled out the iPhone, the Nokia team showed a phone with a color touch screen set above a single button. The device was shown locating a restaurant, playing a racing game and ordering lipstick. In the late 1990s, Nokia secretly developed another alluring product: a tablet computer with a wireless connection and touch screen—all features today of the hot-selling Apple iPad.
