The industry was ready for a turn, Apple pinched in and ended up with a chunk. Respect. Regarding the Prada and GA by Armani, how many have you seen, gimme a break...
I believe all (or most) of the "touch" screen phones that came out before the iPhone required the use of a stylus. Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.
Not to mention all the Windows smart phones which they were all touch color screen also, and they have been around since 2003 as far I know. Brands like Htc, O2, Motorola, Qtek, Samsung, imate, Pantech, or even Palm. They being around 4 years before the first iPhone in 2007.................THIS iClarified POST IS A BS AND NEEDS TO BE ETHER REMOVED OR CORRECTED....
There was touch screen b4 the iPhone.. But apple had just polished all the other phones and used all other people's idea and came out with iPhone which the name was also taken from Cisco.. Haha
