Yes, the blog author was pretty generous. He got almost everything wrong if you&#x27;re being at all critical.<p>The smartphone market is at least 5 years out. 3 years later iPhone comes out and defines the market. Saying it didn&#x27;t get really, really popular for a year or two is misleading. If you were betting on the market being _at least_ 5 years out you would have missed that boat.
