Could Nortel Have Invented the iPhone?
By Mark Evans | June 29, 2007
The Ottawa Citizen’s James Bagnell, who knows Nortel as well as anyone, has a really interesting angle on the iPhone: could Nortel have invented it.
The reality is Nortel was working on a phone in the early-1990s called the Orbiter that featured a graphics display. The developers of the Orbiter’s user interface was Don Lindsay, who joined Apple in 1994. His team created the OS X operating system. Later, the team he built crated the UI for the iPhone.
