And, BTW, they didn’t invent @#%^, they’re just really good at putting a pretty face on a product somebody else invented. Depending on how you define it smartphones existed for anywhere from 10 to 15 years before the iPhone made em look purty.

I did not "lie" about what you said. I quoted you verbatim. You implied they invent nothing. I correct your lie with facts. In fact, Apple NEVER claimed to have invented the smartphone. They said they "re-invented" it.

The 1984 Psion has the same relationship to the PDA as the horse and buggy has to a model T automobile. One line display, no touch screen, applications on cartridges at high cost, it lacked a clock and calendar... It was, at most a 4k memory note book... With limited special purpose modules and one that could be user programmed for simple calculations.

This was your LIE: and there is a WORLD of differences between the designs and if you can’t see the differences you are being deliberately obtuse!

I never said ANYTHING about there not being differences, you saying that I did is you LYING, which is what you always do.

The Psion was the first PDA. Those are the facts, Newton was NOT first. Yes Newtons had more features, but that just makes it another example of exactly what I said, Apple taking an existing gadget (the PDA) and adding widgets (like a calendar) and then the lying fanboys insist Apple was first. They weren’t, Psion was first, by 8 years.
