Agreed that the iPhone announcement is clearly more significant than the iPod one. People forget that the latter was perceived as a dud on day one; the room was small, the fanfare was minor, and it was much more expensive than people were used to paying for music players. I was referring to the overall history of the product; the announcement itself does seem like a bizarre inclusion. You're also spot-on about OS X. I'm excited that NeXT is going to be part of the film; Apple wouldn't have rebounded as powerfully without it. It's easily the most wildly successful flop in history.
