MyDevice was a smartphone made by Finnish company called MyOrigo. It was developed in 2003 by Johannes Väänänen, but the phone was never released to the public markets. MyDevice was remarkable for it's time, since it had auto-rotate function, simplistic "smartphone UI" (like a swipe to unlock lockscreen) and it was working touchscreen-phone. The device was presented to Nokia, but the leaders didn't see the potential of touchscreen-phone.

Later MyDevice prototype was presented to Apple's Steve Jobs. It's been suggested that MyOrigo's MyDevice was the inspiration for Apple iPhone (2007)^[1]
