Apple did it first, and they have a great sense for aesthetics ...
Nope, Several other manufacturers did this somewhere in 2003. QTEK/HTC had a few of them early on, HP introduced the iPaq H6300 (I could get one in europe early 2004)... Apple came with the first iPhone in 2007 (that's three years later).
Of course you could argue that they understood the problem better than (most) other manufacturers (I'm pretty sure they do) but Apple being 'first' is definately not true.
