Default Re: Time names iPhone Invention of the Year

Credit should be given where its due

even though I personally dont like the iPhone for its obvious shortcomings and I dont have have any use with it, its still a refreshing gadget from thousands of tech thats being churned out year after year.

The fact that Apple has sold this much iPhones is a clear indicator that there is a market and loads of people love the iphone. whether we consider them to be stupid or clever we have to respect their choice. So its good on the part of TIME magazine to do this rather than succumbing to preoccupied notions that most techies have (including me ) . but still 'Invention' is a controversial word. I would rather like it to be the 'Gadget of the year'

Just by reading this much about the iPhone sometimes I myself subconciously touch the screen of my K550i for bringing the menu and wish it was like that.
