CNET UK put together this terrific look at the history of the iPhone and the people and technology that contributed to making the iPhone what it is today.
The video compares, among other things, famous designer Dieter Rams to Jony Ive and traces Steve's founding of NeXT in 1985 to the world's 1.8 billion+ Internet users.

(View all)They should put this in power point so we can digest the info. Great video.
"PowerPoint"? Really? :rolleyes:
I know YouTube supports HTML5/H.264 but not on all of their videos.
Vimeo = Always HTML5, H.264. Plays directly in Safari, no Flash required, very smooth.
As for the video, I love that style and the music was great but not obnoxious. Too bad they didn't list the iPhone 4S too.
Anyone knows where one could get that tune?
no, they are the underclocked speeds, the iphone 4 chip for example is a 1ghz chip, it is underclocked to 800mhz
Underclock represents a slower speed than the standard configuration of the CPU/processor. If apple ships a product clocked at a certain speed, that is the speed.
If I sold you a car and I told you that you could tune it to 200 horsepower, but it was only 150 as configured, would you say it had 150 or 200 horsepower?
iPhone/3G: 412 MHz
iPhone 3GS: 600 MHz
iPhone 4 ~ 800 MHz
