The iPhone doesn't seem to be disappointing to those who actually have one. According to this survey an unprecedented 82% of owners were very satisfied. However I can understand how those who were expecting the Jesus Phone might be bitter. It's not perfect, but it is unprecedented as a pocket internet device. iPhone web usage already exceeds Windows mobile, etc by a wide margin.
This is the
patent [uspto.gov] you're probably thinking of, filed on June 21, 2004.
Abstract
An integrated sensing display is disclosed. The sensing display includes display elements integrated with image sensing elements. As a result, the integrated sensing device can not only output images (e.g., as a display) but also input images (e.g., as a camera).
