Late to the party, but I've just got round to another piece on the iPhone at 10 which simply reminds me how it seems like progress has slowed over the last few years although perhaps we all needed a breather from the rapid pace of progress of the early years to find our feet - we're not yet at the 10 year anniversary of the App Store after all...
