I don't know about that.

I'm pretty amazed at what my cell phone can do. Video phone calls. Streaming videos to my TV. Asking it questions verbally and getting the answers spoken back to me. Dictating emails and web posts. And it's a computer that comes with me wherever I go.

Just how often should we expect a huge new advance? We didn't have any of that in one package two years ago.
