That same analyst called the ascent of the iPhone “a wealth transfer from AT&T shareholders to Apple shareholders.”

I guess technology transfer is so fast paced that what is new today will be obsolete tomorrow. Now its the iPhone but tomorrow it will be something else.

That certainly is true but in this case and many others it’s not nearly that simple. This was caused by Apple’s ability to disrupt or at the risk of causing controversy shifting the paradigm. You would be hard pressed to find a handful of company’s in the last century that had that ability.

There seem to be more than a handful, but I suppose that varies based on one’s perspective. Forbes and CBS both rank Apple as #1 most disruptive; I can’t tell whether Baseline’s ordering doesn’t seem to be reflective of anything.
