3: iPhone

When Jobs announced the device he said it was a moment he'd been waiting two and a half years for. The iPhone, a brave new departure for the company, has barely been out of the headlines since it was unveiled in January 2007. A truly innovative product that eschews a physical keypad in favour of a soft, touch-sensitive interface. The converged device, incorporating a phone, iPod and web browser, will have a huge impact on the company's fortunes, for better or for worse. Over-hyped? Probably. Over-priced? Possibly. Over here. Definitely - and the Janacek kids' college fund will shortly be £269 worse off. The most significant Apple product launch in years, it might also prove a defining move for the company.
