In January 2007, Apple announced that the first iPhone would shortly be released. It has been ten years since Apple’s first smartphone.

Can it only be ten years ago? I was a late convert to iPhone, hanging on to my treasured Blackberry until my office manager literally refused to order me a new one. But the concept of smartphone was, and continues to be, revolutionary. The ease of having all information literally at your fingertips, whether your own or information that is on the web, is addictive.

Whether an Apple or Android devotee, can you remember life before your smartphone?
