Jobs didn't focus on, at the time, non-existent features, like the mobile web, because they didn't exist. The authors interpretation is not well supported

- rhizome 8y agoThe mobile web existed. I used to read quite a bit on my Treo and even before that many people had been back-buttoning for years away from that "Java loading..." splash screen that brought up whatever Nokia or Vertu browser was installed. Sure it sucked, but that's what iPhone/iPod Touch broke open.
- ceejayoz 8y agoWAP was introduced in 1999, and m.example.com (or .mobi ones; introduced in 2005) style sites existed before the iPhone as well for use on Blackberries and the like. Things exploded quite a bit post-iPhone, but it's a mistake to say they didn't exist at all.
