I really do like the iPhone, but in the spirit of being honest about things, the iPhone really is not a new concept. In December of 2006, LG and Prada released a new phone, using Adobe Flash Lite as it's user interface. It's a touch screen environment and look at the user interface, look familiar? Sure it doesn't have feature for feature, but it is a touch screen and iconic interface. Personally I would just say the iPhone has been interesting from a design perspective, but it is also interesting to look at how people use a phone from the perspective of someone trying to redesign a phone and how people use it. We can all learn a lot about design and usability from these devices and how people prioritized features and function, not to mention aesthetics.

Hey, I predicted the iPhone - not by name, of course, but by function - back in 1979...
