They were great from a hardware point of view!! I'm just saying adoption was held back, compared to what it was in 2008-2010, because most of the things people lost their minds about in the later era were the always-networked type of things: Fast and accurate texting, web browsing, Google Maps, watching YouTube or Netflix on the bus or as you enjoy your lunch break at work. All those things require Internet and most people who might have (or did) buy an iPaq etc. would have usually not had access to Wi-Fi in most of those places and 3G data wouldn't come around (the US at least!) for a few more years. We did see Windows Mobile 2G and 3G smartphones a year or two pre-iPhone, though, so maybe I'm full of it and that platform somehow didn't have something else the mass market wanted. |
