  There wasn't any evidence Apple was working on the first iPhone before they announced it, but it was an obvious target for Apple to hit. I had a fake osX theme on my crappy Nokia and was hanging out for Apple to enter the fray. I can't think of anything they could 'revolutionize' in their own way anymore.

    There's always stuff to invent and reinvent. Apple is good at interfaces. They took the crappy phone design and delivered smartphones with friendlier interfaces. There's always room for improvement though. How about devices with no interface at all? Like devices that can read your mind or act on their own. And this is where I think the fundamental problem of Apple lies. Autonomous devices require a revolution in hardware and algorithms, not just merely building on top of other people's work ... Apple's revolution until now has been nothing more than mere evolution. Case in point: Google works on cars that can drive by themselves and on smart glasses. Apple doesn't work on anything similar, never did and anybody paying attention knew that Siri is going to be worse than the speech recognition that comes with Android.
