@monkbent Disrupted pretty significantly too. Visual voicemail. User, not carrier-governed updates. A carrier-universal handset. -
@getwired all true, but that's not "disruption" -
@monkbent I guess in the truest sense of the word, handset mfrs were the only ones really disrupted. -
@getwired actually, not even them ;) I should write this: "So who, exactly, got disrupted by the iPhone?" Disruption isn't a catch all -
@monkbent Microsoft, Nokia, Sony Ericsson... In my book, disruption isn't just transformative, and isn't just fatal. -
@getwired oh, it killed a lot of folks, but from the top down, not the bottom up -
@monkbent I'm not sure why that truly has to be the case. It doesn't always have to be "death from below" in my book. -
@getwired well, that gets into the technical versus broad use definitions@BenBajarin and I were grumbling about ;) - 2 more replies

@monkbent It shifted control of the device largely out of the hands of the carrier. Outside of tethering and data limits, now a dumb pipe. -
