The browser was the killer feature. Remember Jobs going to the NYT website?
- lobster_johnson 10y agoIt just was one of many killer features. Contemporary phones also had web browsers, they just weren't as good, by far. I remember the awful browser on the Nokia N73 (my last phone before the iPhone), which had a largeish screen and a little joystick to control a mouse pointer, but no touchscreen.
- wcummings 10y ago>they just weren't as good, by far. Exactly. The point of the demo was "this browser is just as good as one on a computer".
- Mahn 10y agoNot the first internet browser on a phone though, just a vastly superior UX to what had been done before.
