Apple had the iPod line. The evolution to smartphone was pretty obvious. Apple have 0 things which are cars at the moment.

It's also not clear they understand the market or sales environment at all.

It wasn't obvious at all. The leap from the iPod of the time to the first iPhone was massive. If it was so obvious it wouldn't have caught the entire industry off guard. Apple changed the entire industry with the announcement of the iPhone. If it was obvious to you I hope you bought massive amounts of Apple stock back in '06.

When even CNN makes a big feature article about it more than two years before, it's kinda obvious: http://money.cnn.com/magazines/business2/business2_archive/2...

(They even guessed the name)

It was obvious in '02 that all-in-ones like Treo 600 would swallow the iPod.

It was obvious and I did.

The iPhone is not that different from the Palm Pilot.
