Semantics. My point is that Apple perfected or advanced the concept of the smartphone and music player with their iPhone and iPod. They became leading edge at the time for those product categories.
But I do agree with those who contend that the technologies for the most part were already there. Which is why I'm totally against Apple's instigation of the patent wars which are harmful to competition and innovation and costly to consumers.
