      Sure they have - but the haven't been available for the everyperson until about 10 years ago.... even though not really mainstream until about 5-7 years ago.

      That said - because smart phones have been out since the early 2000's there is no reason someone should really consider it amazing today.....

          They weren't the first with touch.

            OMG no, iphone came about a decade after the first touch phone I saw.

            Palm pilot had apps, was popular and some models came with integrated phones. Touchscreen was resistive tech back then.

            Palm pilot from 1996 (without the phone though):

              @scottalanmiller It's amazing how different types of technology has been around for some time, and people act like some of this stuff is new. Like touch screens for example, everyone was so amazed at them, yet they had been around for years in grocery stores. lol.

              We were using CRT touchscreens in the mid 90s in high school.... they've been around a long time for sure!

              Even earlier than that. We had CRT touch screens mid 80s. They used IR tech back then, which is funny because that is what is used today on the interactive whiteboards and other large touch screens. But it took a while to get used to it, because of parallax.

              Just at the end of the 80s you had color LCD screens with built-in resistive touch screens. We used them for software running on PCs in warehouses, factories etc.

                I remember touch screens in the grocery stores in 1982 in NY. OMG, that's a memory that I had totally lost. That's crazy. They had them set up around the stores and you'd type in an item on the touch screen panel "lettuce" and, it would draw a map of the store and show you where it was!

                  They were definitely available for home use in the mid-1980s. BUT... no one cared.

                    I got my smart phone in 2006 and most people I worked with had had them for years at that point.

                      @scottalanmiller I remember those, one of the early "kiosk's". Think pac-man looking map with an X where something was

                        People had blackberry and palmOS devices, I did also.

                        But the smartphone was not mass market until after the original iPhone.
