Back at the 8th All Things Digital conference in June, Steve Jobs revealed that the iPad was actually thought of before the iPhone. Put simply, Jobs and a few of his colleagues were working on a multitouch display which could used to type on like a standard computer keyboard. However, when they managed to get inertial scrolling working on the display, they realised that they could make a phone from the same display. So they put the tablet on hold for some time and got to work on the iPhone. For the full story, take a look at the youtube video below.
I am actually surprised to find out that iPad was thought of first before the iPhone. Then again though, tablet computers were in their infancy back then. Until next time this is Adiman423 on behalf of iPhone Tutorial Videos signing out.
