apple released its first attempt at a pda less than 2 years after microsoft (who was the second or third guest to the party btw) and had to ditch it completely in 1998(6 years later). less than 10 years before it released its iphone, making the iphoneOS its second attempt. One of the biggest reasons was their failure to provide a sufficient handwriting recognition program (failure to innovate? MS had one). MS has already pushed Apple out of the mobile world once. But honestly call it for what it REALLY is: MS may have lost sight but Apple spent 9 years planning their return.
