PDA's where niche. No one used hamburger buttons prior to 2007-2010. No. One. Period.

The wikipedia article linked elsewhere disproves that.

However I misread the thread in my previous post.

Our actual experience say otherwise instead of your review of 90's history on Wikipedia and alikes.

PDA's where a CEO/mid-boss/rich guy tools and nothing more, ditto with cell phones until late 90's.

The 99% of the people using software was doing that thru PC's and with a mouse and menu based WIMP interfaces, and not a smartphone based UI.
