Taro, Then look at the power consumption, that is revolutionary and allows for a whole new concept of freedom in complex functionality as well.

The focus on performance-per-watt is more evolutionary than revolutionary. For one, it's the direction to take when pure performance just doesn't sell like it used to. OK, if that's the case, we'll just take the performance we have right now and reduce the size and power consumption so that it can go into new revolutionary form factors.

Even then, there are limits to how far we can compress things. Paper-thin laptops are cool, and I believe they'll eventually make desktops obsolete. But what's beyond that? PDAs? No way will a PDA ever replace a laptop. It's just way too small, and not very practical when you need to use a keyboard. And natural voice recognition is way too far away.
