"First they invented the smart phone and App Store" No they did not. The first iPhone was released on June 2007 and Apple had no intent to give anybody else the ability to develop any app for their phone. In fact Steve Jobs was vehemently against any app store. Apple only introduced app store on the second year of its first iPhone launch, one day before release of new iPhone 3G. Other types of smart phones and app stores existed before Apple. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_Communicator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_Communicator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Mobile_2003 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Mobile_2003 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Marketplace https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Marketplace
