Myth. It was the cheap/easy access to internet via innovative phone contracts. It didn't have copy / paste and in Europe no 3G. The tile finger interface was bought in and already done by others. We were testing a 4G VOIP PDA prototype with a bought in similar interface just befor iPhone release. We had a 2nd prototype using the same Samsung layered ARM cpu (RAM and Flash and CPU in one package to reduce PCB complexity and area).
Apple are x2 to x4 overpriced the last 20 years and over hyped.
