Open-Pandora started in 2006. I see just similarities between IPhones and Open-Pandora thing (it is almost the same thing, just without phone capabilities for obvious reasons).

This is just another example of how Corporations just slow things down with this present ill-patent system.

"IPhones" were bound to happen at this age and time. Concurrent ideas like:
Laplace+Darwin in the Evolution front;
Santos Dumont+Wright Brothers in the "airplane" field;
Now, with the mini computer thingy.

And those are just the examples i have in my mind right now, imagine how many other examples are there...
