  • Apple's iPhone is most influential gadget ever, says TIME

    Actually think the App Store's introduction in 2008, finally opening the doors for a mobile application marketplace to a mass audience, was the real genius of the iPhone. Think of it akin to the introduction of an early calculator with only buttons for 0-9 and a 'clear' button, then someone having the idea of not only adding functions for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but also opening a market for 3rd parties to add whatever functions they could imagine themselves. Much like the iTunes store for music proved what was capable with the iPod with its launch in April, 2003, the iPhone's true capabilities came to fruition the day the App Store was launched in July, 2008.

    P.S.
    Anyone remember 'Software Dispatch'?  :)
