>The only reason anyone remembers the LG Prada is to bring it up in this kind of discussion.
The reason people bring up the LG Prada is because it proves the form factor of a touch screen phone with a bottom button existed before the introduction of the iPhone.
>If it was so radical and ground-breaking, how come LG are an also-ran Android OEM and not the most valuable company ever?
Not all radical and ground breaking designs succeed. The Prada's software was also far from revolutionary or memorable for that matter.
>It's an asinine argument as it takes the most superficial elements, such as a full touchscreen, conveniently ignoring the actual things that made the iPhone so innovative, such as multitouch UX, proper web browser, full featured operating system, exclusive carrier partnerships and more.
About the only relevant thing you mentioned was having a multi-touch UX on a phone - a technology they didn't invent, but just made popular.
