ComputerWorld crowns iPhone as 2nd most innovative product of 2007

Posted Dec 28th 2007 7:00PM by Scott McNulty

ComputerWorld has created another end of the year list: the 25 most
innovative products of 2007. An Apple product isn't on the top of the
list, that place goes to Google Gears, but the iPhone does clock in at
the number 2 spot which isn't too shabby. The biggest innovation,
according to CW, is the touch screen display. I'm going to disagree
with that, because I've used devices before the iPhone that had touch
screens and they weren't as much fun, or as easy to use, as the
iPhone. The real innovation of the iPhone is that the whole is much
greater than the sum of the parts. The software and hardware work
together to make using this device a pleasure. Here's hoping that in a
few years other handset makers will figure out what Apple has done
with the iPhone and emulate it, of course by then Apple will be on the
3 or 4th revision of the iPhone. The mind boggles as to what that
future iPhone will do.

Wait- this means that the iPhone was not the greatest thing to happen in
2007.

You've been lying to us, Oxtard.
