The best and worst inventions of 2007 as the iPhone turns 10

The iPhone was released 10 years ago today in the USA.

It outsold expectations, went on to be one of Apple's most successful products ever and pretty much changed the way we use our phones.

But 2007 was a mixed bag for new inventions - for every Amazon Kindle, there's a Windows Vista.

Here are some of the products that have lasted from that year, and some that didn't quite stand the test of time.

The successes

Tumblr

Tumblr has more users than Twitter

The social network blogging site was started in 2007 by then 20-year-old David Karp, and is now the eighth most popular social network in the world with 550 million users.

Amazon Kindle

The first Amazon Kindle was black and white and didn't have a touch screen

The Kindle was so popular on its 2007 release that Amazon struggled to keep up with demand. The best-selling ebook on Kindle? 50 Shades of Grey.

SoundCloud

SoundCloud did what MySpace did - but better

The Swedish company was set up in 2007 to challenge MySpace in promoting independent artists. It's clear who won that battle.

Apple TV

The first Apple TV was a clunky affair

The streaming device was originally going to be called iTV, until the British TV channel got involved and warned Apple off it.

Transformers

The first Transformers movie starred Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox

Who'd have thought a film series based on a kid's toy would go on to be so successful? With its fifth film just released, the franchise has so far made over $4bn (£3.1bn) at the box office.

Remember these?

iPod Touch

The iPod Touch was basically an iPhone without calling capabilities

It was released the same year as the iPhone, and was initially really successful. But as smartphones became more popular, it made less and less sense to carry round a device that was basically an iPhone but without the phone bit in it.

Windows Vista

The "Wow" never really got going

The then head of Microsoft Steve Ballmer openly laughed at the iPhone when it came out, saying it was "not a very good email machine". Unfortunately for him in the same year, Microsoft released an operating system that was massively unloved and quickly replaced by Windows 7 two years later.

Wii Fit

We bet you don't know where your old Wii Balance board is

Wii Fit was meant to show that people could stay healthy while playing video games. It may have worked for a while - but does anyone actually use their Wii Balance Board any more?

Coca-Cola Orange

Some Twitter users remember Coke Orange.

Remember in 2007 when everyone was walking around with those orange coke bottles? No, us neither.

The Golden Compass

The Golden Compass starred Daniel Craig, Nicole Kidman, Dakota Blue Richards and Eva Green

The film adaptation of the book Northern Lights actually beat Transformers in the best visual effects category of the Oscars. It was meant to be the first in a big franchise - but unfortunately it wasn't very good and planned sequels were canned pretty quickly.
