>> when I was watching the keynote live, and Jobs swiped his finger to scroll, I audibly gasped.
> Palm OS apps were using swipe to scroll for several years before that. As far back as at least 2002.
I don't know how good Palm OS was at that time, but the contrast between the iPhone and the rest of the industry was blinding 2007:

- ldev1 9y ago> the contrast between the iPhone and the rest of the industry was blinding 2007 Totally: No third party applications, none. So no SSH client. Browser, compared to Nokia, was utter shit. Screen resolution was mediocre at best. Fixed storage - only 4 GB, meanwhile I had all my mp3 collection in two memory cards for my Nokia phone. IT COULDN'T EVEN RECORD VIDEO, what. the. hell. Let alone changing ringphone to mp3. MMS? No. No copy/paste, but I guess it's alright because it couldn't multitask anyways. --- When I saw how many iPhones Apple sold I audibly gasped, was not yet that cynical and didn't expected people being so dumb. And got never ending hate for dumb people - they just set back phone development at least 6 years back (I'm pretty sure if people like 2bitencryption wouldn't exist - I would be living in Mars now).
- dkonofalski 9y agoThat is seriously laughable how bad that is. The parent to your comment either doesn't remember what things were like prior to the iPhone or they're intentionally ignoring the differences.
