You may think that the hype surrounding the Apple iPhone started in January of 2007, but that's not true. It had started many years ago, perhaps before generating such a device was even a twinkle in Steve Jobs' eye. After so many years of rumors about the mythical iPhone, so many fake mockups, so many fake names, and a brief experiment with the now-failed Motorola ROKR, Apple finally went ahead and launched the device that Apple fans have been longing since the beginning of time or at least since Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997 and killed off the Newton.

Steve Jobs recently declared during an internal company meeting that he believes all phones will, some day, work the same way as the iPhone and that those who worked at Apple during the iPhone launch will be able to tell their grandchildren about it. It appears as if Jobs truly believes in this product as a long-term innovative device, even if he does acknowledge that it does come with various flaws at present.
