Tocuhscreen PDA's have been around forever, I'm actually a bit disappointed that the above quote appeared in the article.
My first smartphone was a Sony Ericsson P800 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_P800 ) which was a touch screen device with a web browser and it was released in 2002! The iPhone was not, at all, revolutionary in that regard. It's merely a really good refinement (multitouch and a flush display) of what came before.
