Apple iPhone Named Invention of the Year

Time magazine recently named Apple’s iPhone as invention of the year. I enjoyed their #1 reason for choosing the iPhone as invention of the year is that it is pretty. While it’s probably true that half the customers purchased the iPhone because of it’s sleek design, their reason #3, “It will make other phones better”, makes much more sense for choosing the iPhone. Eventually other phone makers will take some of the game-changing functionality encapsulated in the iPhone, like the internet browsing capabilities and touch screen, and integrate them into their own handsets. The iPhone really is a great product and the amount of buzz it drew before and after it’s release makes it a good reason to name it invention of the year.
