[citation][nom]dheadley[/nom]I don't consider Apple the all time greatest innovators, but it really lowers anyones credability when they make the standard anti-Apple "they never did anything" kind of comments. The iPhone turned the whole smartphone market on its ear and had ALL the other manufacturers scrambling to make significant leaps in their smartphones. Before it there were smartphones, but in the US at least there were hardly any people using them with the exception on BB's for business and some at home thanks to Verizons buy 1 get 3 free sales etc. Same with tablets. There were tablets prior to the iPad. Years of them as a matter of fact. Intel and MS tried so many different programs to get portable computing devices off the ground. Tablet computers, UMPC's etc. and all of them combined in history were outsold by the iPad in a matter of months. I have never understood why people on Tech sites hate Apple so much. They make well built devices in every area they enter. Better materials and design, ease of use, smooth operation. Yet all you hear on sites like this are a bunch of BS comments about how they never did anything ever or the same old retelling of mis-information like these stole their OS from Xerox etc.[/citation]
