Quick quiz: Who developed a smartphone operating system first -- Apple or Microsoft?
Of the two, who released a tablet first?
Scroll down for the answers.
In both cases, it was Microsoft, and the race wasn't even close. The Microsoft Tablet PC was announced in 2001, and tablets built to its specifications were released in 2002, eight years before the iPad first appeared. That same year, Microsoft Pocket PC 2002 was developed for smartphones. (It later became Windows Mobile, and now is Windows Phone.) Apple got around to building its first smartphone, the iPhone, five years later, in 2007.

Right, and when Apple got around to making smartphones they used and sold old technology that had already been surpassed eg. Japanese mobile phones. We were using Apples revolutionary "Face Time" in Japan years and years before Apple introduced it as something awesome and new... in fact with the Face Time example it was free to be used across all mobile networks in Japan, not just with users of the same network like Apple had.

They are great at marketing, but their strategy of IP, lack of real licencing for their kit to 3rd party manufacturers and the stringent dictatorial way of only allow certains apps onto their store is something more akin to the early 1980s than anything else.
Yes they look good, but aren't exactly fastest dogs on the racetrack, apple were the ones who stole the whole gui thing in the first place from Xerox, so The Not So Dead Mr Jobs (rumors are he's in cryogenic deep freeze) is used to intellectual property theft....
And you're all wrong..... Forget smartphones, I want a a Strar Trek tricorder!!!!!!!
