Think about it. Jobs gave a voice to every idiot on the planet. We wouldn’t be here had the smartphone remained a tool for business types or a toy for nerds.

      Yup, what I meant is that we were already on track of everyone having a computer with internet on their pocket, even if not as capable as the iphone at first.

      Blackberries were already there and pioneered a lot of the technologies that made mobile networks possible.

        Really the only thing the iPhone did is make those things more consumer friendly rather than business focused.
