I agree that purely from a technical perspective, the iPhone interface isn't all that innovative. Where the real power lies is how the user looks at it. I've never been a fan of phone interfaces, but I love the iPod touch interface. I know the basic premise is the same, but the multitouch taken it to a level where it's actually fun and easy to handle - and let's not forget the animation, which imho do adds to the experience.
