Feh. Nitpicking IMO. It isn't so much about the feature as it is the effective implementation, ie, the whole package.

As noted, Nokia has released innovative tech that SHOULD have caused disruption, but their execution was too poor. Apple on the other hand pulled together existing tech and packaged it into a single device that offered a highly compelling user experience. Result: market disruption.
