A recent itch, motivated in large part by the carping from the smartphone gallery, is that Moore's Law nears repeal. Unless some new physics becomes evident.

Announcements for the latest Samsung Galaxy phone abound. This is from AnandTech. Pay special attention to the comments. It's beginning to dawn on folks that limits exist. May be vendors should include a phone life's supply of Prozac?

The first comment to get it.

How fast the market was moving from 2007 to 2009 led me to believe we would be seeing some true innovation and mind blowing things by now. Even Apple is doing incremental upgrades every year. Better cameras and a faster soc's, this has turned into the PC industry.
