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.
