Time, because it rules EVERYTHING!
Hahaha, only 2002, what about 1993:
Apple was even first with a stylus.

Rumor is this is where Samsung got their inspiration for the Galaxy note .

Bs you were streaming movies to your pda in 2002

They made a rubbish overpriced PDA with a Stylus, and after two more models promptly dropped the entire Stylus idea for ever, but you still have to take a cheap shot claiming Samsung copied it :rolleyes:

History on digitizers for you:

But the Newton was about as useful as a 1960 Etch-a-Sketch. Streamed DVD transcoded movies on the Axim X5 using Betaplayer over 802.11g WIFI from PC acting as media server (Google it). The experience is very close to what we have today. And, the Axim X5 has a 3.5" display just like many of the iPhones that came out five years later. ;)

If he doesn't know about it then it must not exist.

And the Axim 50, a CF GPS and Tom Tom and it made a very good navigation system, 3.5" screen with 640x480 resolution

Don't have to google it, 802.11g wasn't introduced to consumers until 2003 before it was even ratified. So you claiming your axiom 5 had a 802.11 g wireless card in 2002 is complete bs.

Not to mention there is no way you could have streamed dvd transcoded movies over 802.11b. It just couldn't handle it.

Do you know understand what "around 2002" means? Axim X5 was released in 2002 along with 802.11b compact flash card and Socket 802.11g was released shortly after. And, transcoding is converting the original format down to a quality and bitrate suitable for the target device for either 802.11b or 802.11g. Reason for going g was to prevent mixed mode dragging down g clients to b speed. Either way 2002, 2003 or even 2006 is before original iPhone release in 2007. There was also the competing HP iPaq so guess where Apple borrowed iPad name from?

Now Windows phone actually does allow for use of SD cards at the OS level. Android currently does not.

umm that is built into the native OS. Always have been built into the native android OS.
Difference is the nexus do not have SD card slots but still put into the OS by default.
