You make arguments such as But it does not mean that you could see the page looking exactly like it did on desktop. Not to mention JS and CSS support, which is false. Opera Mobile rendered websites properly.
Furthermore, your tone is very combative. It's obvious that you're not actually reading what I write, but rather, just pushing your preconceived notions. It's not necessary for me to make a list for you. I was merely pointing out how many of the items that were supposedly introduced or unique to the iPhone wasn't, and in fact was worked on and implemented by many talented engineers years before the iPhone was released.
As a long time HN user, dialogs such as these really turn me off to the current community.

Although the tone is a bit combative and could be toned down some, I don't think they're being overly hostile, but rather are just asking for facts. I think most people are aware that the iPhone didn't spring out of some black ether. Obviously it built on technology that existed, but then that's the point. They put it together in a way that blew apart the model that existed before and have pretty much pushed the worldwide cellphone market into a new era.
