Aside from trying to be smug, I'm not sure the point of this comment.
No one cares that a small handful of people owned a Treo in 2001. It wasn't relevant then and it isn't now. In any case, if it isn't a market, then there is no case here, so not sure what your comment means for you.
> They haven’t really created any market, they just created a software monopoly on their hardware using existing ideas.
The monopoly where the competitor has far, far higher marketshare. I'm sorry, I've never read about that in the history books.
Treo’s were extremely relevant! It was a device that early adopters loved and inspired Apple to make the iPhone which “crossed the chasm” into the mainstream. (Read “Crossing the Chasm” to learn about early tech and its influence)
There are no competitors on the iPhone. The iPhone isn’t the anti-competitive issue, the App Store is! No one has a market share but Apple on that front.
