Same thing happened with Microsoft. Theirs got killed supposedly because it didn't run Windows (which of course is a bad idea for a handheld device).

  I had (I think 2 different) windows phones-- something like the XV6600 [0] that actually ran some flavor of Windows Mobile OS. I liked it. It was the first phone I had that could actually browse real websites. Badly, but it worked. Apple succeeded not because they had features never before seen (though the capacitive touch screen was critical) but a far superior UI. The windows phone worked, but it was a pain to use.
