He was absolutely right about the iPod, except that the company that disrupted Apple was Apple. Jobs ostensibly was "deeply influenced" by "The Innovator's Dilemma," so it's not inconceivable that he learned from it and cultivated disruptive projects within Apple.

Meh, I think spotify (and related services) probably made the ipod obsolete for a certain class of smartphone users.

...and it helped that Apple made 'iPods' (i.e. iPhones) that were compatible with Spotify, instead of just blocking them. That's exactly what the OP is saying - the way Apple constructed the App Store ending up obsoleting the iPod.
