# Jobs discusses "smartphone" -- uses graph to portray easy-of-use versus easy-of use. Make "huge" leap to make it very smart and very easy to use. Start with a revolutionary user interface (UI) that leverages hardware/software. The problem is the control portion/buttons/navigation which are fixed and cannot change as applications are changed and invented. Problem of evolving navigation solved with screen/mouse for computer. No buttons on Apple device. Touch sensitive screen using "multi-touch" (no stylus). Far more accurate than other touch display. Multi-finger gestures. Patented. Mouse ==> Wheel ==> Multitouch. Revolutionary interface. Softare breakthrough--"at least 5 years ahead of any other. iPhone uses Mac OS X. Power management, networking, security, apps, Core Animation, audio/video. Built into iPhone. Allows creation of desktop-class applications. [9:50 a]
