Am I the only one who started reading the article thinking of Borland's Sidekick?

Oh my... Guess I am really old.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SideKick)

edit: but it's interesting. When the iPhone was first shown, I had a Sony Ericsson P-800 phone. I wondered what was the big deal about Apple's gizmo.

And no other phone since got voice dialing as right as the SE...

I thought the same thing when I saw the title! I loved Borland's Sidekick -- especially having an ASCII table and cheat sheets handy when I was coding.

I used it extensively when porting a Clipper application to Dataflex - being able to capture the screens into an editor was an incredible timesaver.

Me too (although I preferred Borland's Sidekick Plus: it had a great outliner (my favorite still)).

You're not alone, it was my first thought too. Loved that application!
