I think you're taking the combination aspect too lightly, and again looking at technical features. If you compare songs, you'll find that none of them actually created the notes A, B, C, D, E, F, etc... and you can't create a song, unless you combine them together.
Apple iOS became a slimmed down version of their MacOS that predates Palm. I remember Palm as the handheld machine that had a clunky feature that recognized handwritten text. But one thing was for certain. You never mistook an Apple product for Palm. With the exception of the Newton, which met its end when Jobs returned.
Sure you can trace roots back to Xerox to a computer that never saw the light of day. The machine was crap, wasn't portable unlike the Macintosh to be a consumer product. You might as well have tried to put a mainframe computer on top of a desk. It's weight alone would have collapsed upon your legs.
