I still watch this keynote from time to time. What really gets me is the looks on the faces of people in the audience. What you're seeing is MIND = BLOWN.

I watch this again and again, too. Even played it to my family the other day. While I'm hesitant to say this changed humanity's history, it surely morphed the world we (people with access to tech) live in.
 
God this is such a crazy thing. The presentation is absolutely fantastic...

I'll have 4.000 lattes to go, please :)
 
"An iPod, a phone, an internet communicator.... Are you getting it?" -Steve Jobs

A truly revolutionary device!
 
Remember that in those days a 'killer smartphone' was a Nokia N96 or a Blackberry. Mind blowing the leap Apple made.
 
Yeah,
I remember that.

I remember seeing iPhone one of my friends bought.
We were watching something on youtube while fixing a server.

Amazing...
 
I've watched that presentation 2 more times in the last few years and I'm still blown away every time by the significance of the moment and the quality of his delivery.
 
7 years going, and lots of the old players back in 2007 have fallen. a truly disruptive product.
 
...and Apple hasn't done anything new since.

When Phil Schiller said "Can't innovate anymore my as", he was 3/5ths right. The first three words!
 
Excellent presentation from Jobs. has to be my favourite keynote. Although the one for the 4S was good, mainly because it was the last.
 
I remember watching that keynote and thinking, "wow, that's cool! But I don't use the cell phone I have now, why would I want one of THOSE things?" Heh.....the second time I watched the keynote the penny dropped and I saw exactly why I would indeed want "one of those things." As a result, sure enough, I was in line on Launch Day that June......

Now I can tell my children and grandchildren that I was there when they introduced the iPhone. :cool:

And our grandfathers were there for (at least mine was, 96)...

The proliferation of the automobile, airplanes, and electricity.
The invention of radio, movies, television.
The proliferation of penicillin, and vaccines.
The creation of our rail and highway system.
The invention of space travel.
Atomic energy.
Computers, and the internet.

But yeah, at least we'll have the iPhone 1.

Definitely a transformative day when in comes to smart phones. I didn't jump in right away, but once I got my hands on one, I knew if would be my next phone.

Believe it or not, at that time I had convince the decision maker in my house that the iPhone was better that the Treo :rolleyes:

Needless to say, she will not even consider another phone now.
