I think Stove Jebs did a great job changing what we think a 'phone', or for that matter a 'computer' is, and that shouldn't be underestimated.
Even now, ten years later, I find myself amazed at how much of a change in the adoption of computing the iPhone has made, and how we are still trying to understand the effects, good and bad, this has on society. I still vividly remember 'chat' being something geeks do, or self-consciously using my stylus-based Palm device for todos and calendaring because I sure as hell didn't want my high school classmates to catch me in the act.
But I'm also very curious about what the next thing will be that punts us out of this 'local maxima', whether it's some reconceptualization of how we actually use these devices responsibly, a completely new device, or something I can't imagine.
