Apple changed the entire smartphone game with its multitouch technology on the iPhone. It was a dream phone for many. And in Apple’s own words ‘competitors are still catching up with the original iPhone we released 2 yrs back’. IMO only the Palm Pre came close to the challenge that iPhone has thrown at the industry. But the smartphone boom is still underway, we are going to see a strong surge in smartphone shipments over the next decade. That means lot more surprises and innovations!
