Someone mentioned that the patents are from 1994 and 1996. So Apple is winning this battle in the smartphone industry, with something they had way, way before iPhone. How is that fair?
- Terretta 15y ago"Development of the Apple Newton platform started in 1987 and officially ended on February 27, 1998."[1] "HTC was founded in 1997 by Cher Wang, HT Cho, and Peter Chou."[2] Apple's been investing in mobile usability (e.g., recognizing and acting on structured data with a tap) for a very long time. That an iPhone has a phone attached to it is arguably a secondary characteristic. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Newton http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Newton 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC
