I used to be really excited about new gadgets, but I'm totally unmoved by a slightly thinner phone that does roughly the same thing my old one did.
It isn't like 2000, where I would _need_ a new graphics card to play a new video game, or I could get an ipod and not have to haul around a backpack full of cd binders

Perhaps once these devices stop getting better, it will be easier for a community-driven open source OS to occupy a a viable 1-3% market share and make the tech work for us rather than for the rent-seeking companies that own this space today.
