My old Ericsson had it, and that were from 95 I think. Where you born then?

My old desk phone, from about 1990!, was capable of displaying a list of missed
calls, along with all the other information it had about the caller (basically
an associated text string, as it didn't have the memory for anything else).
Cheers,
Wol

Released Sept. 26, 2005.
Now that does not qualify as prior art in itself, but it falls only 20 days
short of it. I'd be rather surprised to find that that was secondary to Apple's
invention (First to Invent applies here), and it would rather look like Apple
rushed to get a patent on Palm's work if it were indeed the first device to
offer the feature.<br>And if Palm showed one picture in pre-release ads a
month beforehand, that would be prior art.<br>
But with several people commenting about how they remember the feature on their
older phones, I'd suspect that it was not novel.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
