It's definitely not absurd, even if they only deserve a share of the credit.
There's nothing absurd about the way Amazon and Apple defined cloud computing and smartphones. They deserve as much credit as anyone for the services / products we know today as cloud computing and smartphones. The version of the smartphone that took off in sales, took over the culture and has become a human staple globally, was entirely defined by Apple's iPhone. No other company did that, it was Apple, period. To not recognize them as the prime mover of smartphones would be absurd.
- scottyah 6y agoI'm certainly no expert on what makes a phone a smartphone, but it seems like Blackberries with their email and small web functionality really kicked off the movement of phones being able to do more than calls and texts.

- rrdharan 6y ago> Amazon and Apple defined cloud computing and smartphones Absolutely. You’ll note that the OP’s word choice was invented - defined would indeed be appropriate and not at all absurd.
