MyOrigo MyDevice (in a portrait mode.)

MyDevice was a smartphone manufactured by Finnish company called MyOrigo. The first prototype was developed & designed in early 2002 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, web browser, simplistic "smartphone UI and functions" (like a swipe to unlock lockscreen) and it was working touchscreen-phone. The device was presented to big manufacturers like Nokia, but the leaders at Nokia didn't see the huge potential for 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]
