“We have Apple to blame for this. In January 2007, when the
iPhone was introduced, the public got the first glimpse of what the
future might hold. The iPhone was like nothing that had come before
it, a simple, hand-held computer that just worked, and worked well.
The iPhone brought the concept of touch interaction into the
mainstream, and changed users expectations of how computers should
work. Apple, already on a popularity upswing after the success of
the iMac and iPod, rocketed past it?s competition over the next few
years to become one of the most successful businesses in history.
The popularity of the iPhone was followed by the success of the
iPad, a device who?s story is still being written. The iPad?s
popularity has been growing exponentially, and there is no end in
sight.”
