My view is similar. I am on a 2009 Mac Pro right now and the only thing that worries me about it is not that its capabilities were too limited, but simply that crucial hardware components might cease to work. When it comes to phones/smartphones, I recently realized how my 2005 mobile phone already had most of the functionality that today’s smartphones have (it played mp3s, it had some online access, it had bluetooth and allowed me to remote control my computer, it had a camera with video capture, it had radio…) – the essential difference being that current smartphones just perform them so much better.
