Innovation always seems 2 steps forward one step back... I wonder if we will look back at Steve Jobs' iPhone launch in 07 as something similar (if not already).

That launch is already considered an innovative turning point.

What he shows is basically what exists now in phone tech (apps, good internet, GPS...), and it's the same only-screen device (today's are equal, only larger). And it's now owned by more than 2 billion people.

I know Jobs was seen (probably correctly) as a jerk. But this was such a huge achievement that I can't help admiring it.
