Apple, once again, did not invent the concept of the IPhone its been around for years, the same way they did not invent digital music players, but all credit to the apple guys, they know how to profit from other peoples ideas - its all about spin and marketing
So if we put it into math you said 'iPhone=PDA' and 'Apple didn't invent the iPhone (=PDA)'

what part is not your words from the quote?
P.S. What is "newtion" you aren't typing on an iPhone are you LOL :P

Who is this one MAN and one WOMAN you are talking about?
I don't know what ppl you hang out with but I've never met this "man/woman" you are refering to that is of the preception that Apple "invented all things MP3 and mobile"

With a statement like this it's very confusing how/why you call yourself a geek, also it's somewhat puzzeling as to why you even read/post on this forum that is all about these bricks that are too large and heavy for you to handle, not to mention what device you (if any) are able to carry along with you? The fact that you play basketball(??) with your gadgets and thereby need to protect them in "briefcases" really has nothing to do with the size of the actual product, most iPhone users I see do not carry any briefcases nor large cases, as a matter of fact I haven't even seen any large cases for the iPhone!
P.S. How is your pokemon card collection coming along?
