True on many counts but: A1000 had customisable home screen that could feature the links and apps you wanted to hand, shown as app icons. It had a stylus but on the whole worked fine with just a finger (better screens just were not affordable at the time) It allowed for app 'grouping' though not with the snazzy app draws of iOS It could do 'sliding draw' notifications of things like SMS, offering a preview in the top bar. --- I'm not saying it was anywhere near as good as an iPhone, but it featured some of the ideas that people try to say that the iPhone did first. --- On a side note I'm going to have to dig it out, it had some great games on it!
