They definitely weren't the first for touch screens, but I definitely agree that they pushed the smartphone industry to put a lot more work into it.
Prior touchscreens were laggy and unpleasant. Apple just gave us a really smooth touch screen (It was good for it's time) experience compared to what was out there and that forced other smartphone makers to get with the program.
