Disruptive design
Disruptive design: Apple's iPhone is coming up upon its first birthday, and while surveying the effect the device has had, Troy Wolverton of the San Jose Mercury News includes a nice quote from Warner Music Chairman Edgar Bronfman: "You need to look no further than Apple's iPhone to see how fast brilliantly written software presented on a beautifully designed device with a spectacular user interface will throw all the accepted notions about pricing, billing platforms and brand loyalty right out the window." (The article later cites lack of Adobe Flash support as the most notable flaw of the iPhone's internet experience.)
NB: For what it's worth, I hear the following two commenters talking, but I don't hear them saying anything. I'm not removing the comments, but please do not feel under any compulsion to read them.
