What's frustrating is how many people credit the iPhone for things it didn't invent. It wasn't even the first phone to use that browser, Nokia's S60 uses the same webkit rendering engine and it was available over a year before the iPhone was announced. Many supposedly iPhone-only sites work on the S60 browser, and they'll probably all work when Nokia starts releasing touchscreen S60 models.

No doubt when the iPhone gets Flash support many commentators will claim this is a first too, even though S60's browser already had Flash support at the beginning of 2007. The latest version of the S60 browser even supports Flash video sites like YouTube without any separate applications required.

S60 phones aren't obscure pieces of technology either, they sell tens of millions every year.

It's almost as frustrating as people who think Blackberry invented mobile e-mail.
