All he's saying is that future (at the time)phones/pdas/etc will have that functionality, it has nothing to do with AmigaDE specifically. AmigaDE had the "write once, run anywhere" idea in mind, and could have potentially run on the devices that have the functionality you mentioned/quoted without being specially adapted. In no way, shape or form has apple been inspired/copied/etc ideas for iPhone from AmigaDE. They're different kettles of fish.
