Um-that's exactly how I start an app on my cell phone/PDA. I still don't see how iPhone changed anything? Except the marketing, of course.

And that, IMO, is Apple's strongest point-I'm not sure where they got the expertise because they sure don't have it with the iMac, but where ever they learned it, I'm not going to deny that they definitely do know how to market the iPhone-but that's really the only innovation I see in it. (Well, except for the multi-touch I previously mentioned.)
