Why does Android get credit for being disruptive? It's not.

Since it's like iOS, Android is also disruptive to the old OS models, but on a wider range of devices. I think what he actually means is that it's not <i>breakthrough</i> or anything like that, since iOS appeared "first". But it is disruptive and it's disrupting not only older mobile operating systems, but old desktop ones, too (soon enough).
