no, fishmech, you really don't appreciate how good the iphone's interface was, and how totally unlike anything else yes it had a 320x480 screen and today it would be considered laggy. doesn't matter, because it introduced gestural navigation and instantly obsoleted everything else. remember when "smartphones" had little teeny trackballs? or scroll dials? or zoom buttons? akadajet posted:lol no. it didn't initially sell super well because it was like $600 bux and required an expensive contract. everyone who saw one wanted one. also it was only available on at&t Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Oct 26, 2016 |
