the way i see it

5 years ago today the iPhone was launched and it changed the world. RIM the makers of blackberry thought Apple was lying. Ed Colligan of Palm said that “PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They’re not going to just walk in”. Steve Ballmer CEO of Microsoft scoffed at the idea of the iPhone. Today RIM’s share has plummeted, Palm no longer exists, and Microsoft this week admitted that Windows phone 7 was a response to iPhone. As far as Apple’s success we’ll let the last five years speak for themselves.
