I don't see what's so innovative about the iPhone. Sure the user
interface is probably very innovative, creative, and cool. But as far
the technology, what's the difference compared to a pocketpc with
cellular addon? I've seen one of those 3-4 years ago. The only diff is
that the iPhone is packaged into a slim, sleek form factor. But of
course electronics get smaller after 3-4 years.
