The iPhone: Remember When

ical_icon.jpgHe’s probably too modest to mention it himself — or else he doesn’t know that I’ve published it — but Dan Moren, who produces most of the content ‘round these here parts, has written a year-in-review article about the iPhone over at the Mothership. (Dan also looks at the year’s developments on the iPod front in the article as well, but seriously — who owns one of those? I mean, how many of those things has Apple sold? 100 million-plus, you say? I’ll be quiet then.)

Dan’s article recaps all the 2007 highlights for the iPhone (you know — like, its launch). Looking back over his list, it’s striking how many of the things that caused such a furor at the time — bricked iPhones! that $200 price cut! — have, with the passage of time, acquired the musty whiff of nostalgia.

It also makes me wonder what iPhone-themed development from 2008 will strike us as the most important thing ever, only to acquire a “wait, that happened this year?” feel by this time next year.
