iPhone may be regarded as one of the best-featured smart phones today. But the concept is claimed to have been made by Microsoft since twenty years ago.
The claim comes from the former Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Microsoft Nathan Myhrvold in an interview with the Mens Journal. He mentions, the concept of most smart phones, including the iPhone, Microsoft has created two decades ago.
Myhrvold said in 1991, when he was still working at Microsoft, he never made the so-called 'digital wallet'. This product combines the concept of a function call, schedule manager, notepad, contacts, music and book libraries into one.
Just so you know, the iPhone was first introduced by Steve Jobs in 2007. Until now, the iPhone has reached the fifth generation, and its existence has been very high.
Myhrold also added, then the concept of smart phones a la Microsoft is slated to be sold into the market at a price of between USD 400 to USD 1,000. So that was reported by Tech Eye on Monday (4/16/2012).
At that time, including the price offered is still expensive at the time. So Microsoft is not too 'confusing' to her whereabouts.
