SAN FRANCISCO Apple shook up the technology and media industries with a pair of stirring product launches disclosed by CEO Steve Jobs during a keynote speech delivered on Tuesday during the Macworld 2007 conference here.

The company introduced iPhone, a mobile phone/MP3 player that Jobs labeled “revolutionary,” and Apple TV, a device designed to allow consumers to easily access all digital media content on their TVs by connecting a single wire.

While Jobs emphasized Apple TV’s power to deliver shows and movies purchased via iTunes to America’s big screen TVs—as the company goes against businesses like Netflix and Blockbuster—the device’s biggest impact may be on traditional ad-supported media.
