@Moon @arcana @bot I don't think it would have made a big difference if it had come earlier because the main issue is that consumers don't think "how does this enable me to be more productive" when they see a smartphone, they're wooed by capabilities they will never use (console quality 3D games) and approachable UI. If they did care about efficiency, it would have taken a lot longer for iOS and Android to displace old-school (pre-BB10) Blackberry. Outside of its stupid idiosyncraties (requiring BES/BIS) it was a productivity boost. Most people's smartphone are a productivity drain nowadays.
