This article is so foolish. Steve Jobs was going to sell you hard on why the device he could put in front of you was the very best device you could possibly buy. If the competition had more, they had too much, if they had less, what they were missing was absolutely critical. You didn't need apps in 2007 because the iPhone didn't have them. Yet. The App Store opened in 2008, which means it was seen as a priority at Apple (including Steve Jobs at the time) and under development in 2007 when the iPhone was released. I like the overall thesis here: use your phone, don't let it use you. But this Steve-Jobs-wouldntof-approved angle is just obnoxious.
