I must say it has been a lot of fun watching Apple fan-boys frothing and getting bent out of shape. I&#39;m curious to see what tricks Cupertino has on June 7th ...<div><br></div><div>It is interesting that your post is the only one on Skunkworks-KE regarding Google IO, Facebook f8, or Twitter Chirp. Is it that devs in Kenya find these happenings to be largely irrelevant to &quot;our daily bread&quot;, or is it just that these discussions are happening elsewhere?</div>

<div><br></div><div>Curious...</div><div><br></div><div>saidi<br><br><div><div><div>PS FWIW, it wasn&#39;t a secret that 1 Infinite Loop would get into mobile... that was known way before the iPhone launched. Talking of which: did you know the &quot;revolutionary&quot; iPhone design wasn&#39;t quite that? Check out these two links: the first one of an LG phone pre-dating the first iPhone; and the second of an open-source phone (OpenMoko, now defunct) with full multi-touch support also pre-dating the iPhone (the illustrations are eerily familiar).</div>

The Reason:<br>
“If we did not act, we faced a draconian future. Where one man, one<br>
company, one carrier was the future.”<br>

The Fact:<br>
&quot;... Google acquired Android in August of 2005. That’s nearly 18<br>
months before the world even knew about iPhone, let alone its carrier<br>
model or prospects for success.&quot;<br>
