The touch-screen revolution
May 30th, 2008 by Will
Nothing pisses me off these days like Apple-fan-boyism, so I really want to set the record straight on something.
The iPhone did NOT start the touch-screen revolution.
There are only 5 million or so iPhones that have been sold.
On the other hand, there are over 70 million Nintendo DS’s that have been sold, it’s been around since 2004, and it’s still today selling at a faster rate than the iPhone.
Nintendo is the one who brought touch-screen consumer electronics to the masses, not Apple.
I don’t mind crediting Apple for making a gorgeous device and leading the way to making touch-screen phones, but why is it that even in the world of technology news that people still mostly ignore the pervasiveness and innovation of video games?
