While converting my old wordpress blogposts to markdown i read some of my old posts. For example, here is what i wrote when Apple launched the iPhone in 2007:

In a couple of years mobile phones will be powerful enough to replace laptops for most common computing usages. You won’t need a separate laptop. You walk around with your mobile phone, in the office or at home you put it in a docking station, attach a keyboard and a bigger display, and you have all the computing power you need.

Some news this last week indicates we’re getting close to that point: 76 cores in a mobile cpu & desktop OS for phones.
