Time's Invention of the Year: iPhone

Thursday November 1, 2007 12:28 pm PDT by Arnold Kim
Time magazine has named the iPhone the Invention of the Year.

The reasoning behind the high honor is broken down into five different reasons:

1. The iPhone is pretty
2. It's touchy-feely
3. It will make other phones better
4. It's not a phone, it's a platform
5. It is but the ghost of iPhones yet to come

I find it a bit odd that two of the reasons it is the best invention for THIS year is for what it will become NEXT year. :p

I'm not sure if Time giving awards like this is all that prestigious. After all, I was Time's man of the year recently, and I'm a piece of crap.

Besides, the year isn't over yet. There's still an entire sixth to go.

True. Google might have something nifty up their sleeves.

With 32GB and a good SDK, it would be the invention of the century so far...right now, its a great possibility waiting to happen...
