    So should we give credit to people like Marconi and Tesla for inventing what we know today as the cell phone? I suppose the delineation isn’t necessarily so clear.

      For the telephone, certainly. And for a host of other radio-based technology. You should probably include Michael Faraday and James Maxwell.

      But Kupriyanovich holds the patent on wireless telephones, specifically.

        Got any links that shows pictures of all these devices? The article is kinda sparse but it sounds fascinating.
