Opening, oppositions and tricolons

On January 9th 2007 Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone.  He starts off with a great sentence to grab the attention of the audience: This is a day I’ve been looking forward to for two and a half years.  He proceeds with high pathos language about revolution and change.

So which ones do you detect?
