I disagree. The iPhone was significant leap: a captive, multi touch screen (not resistive), a full desktop OS (hidden from users, but not a scaled down embedded OS like everyone else), finger, not stylus focused, touch, not button focused. Yet at the launch I wasn't impressed ("doesn't solve a problem I have"; clearly I lack vision as it took until iPhone 4 for me to see the light).
