Yeah, the iPhone just appeared out of thin air. Give me a fucking break. BEGONE!
Go back to your Google thread.
Apple took the idea of a constantly connected smartphone with built-in application store from Danger, who did this back in 2002 with the Danger Hiptop, later rebranded in the US and Europe as the T-Mobile Sidekick.
Danger was founded by Andy Rubin, who in mid-2005 left Danger to start a new company - Android, Inc (later purchased by Google).
At the same time (mid 2005), Apple worked with Motorola to create the ROKR E1, a pretty standard non-smartphone. Apple's involvement was nothing more than creating a mobile version of iTunes to use on this phone.
9 months, after this, in Q1 2006, it was pretty clear that Apple had failed epically with this path. They decided to build their own device in-house and the iPhone was born, by which time there had already been considerable development on the Android platform.
The iPhone was announced a year later at Macworld '07.
Sorry, you lose.
