Apparently the iPhone is not a completely new idea for the folks at Apple. MyiPhone.com has copies of a US patent application Apple made in the early 1980s for a mobile phone. The original design showed this lovely design - an apple with a bite taken out of it. It certainly does not look as spiffy as the new iPhone.
Apparently good sense prevailed at Apple 20 years ago. I suspect they would have had to give away 18 months of service to get anyone to use this phone!
