Unfortunately the trend has been to de-emphasize specs and thus to dumb down devices (user can't really tell what they are getting -- they just have to trust the manufacturer). Simplification has become everything and flexibility unimportant. Companies decide what users need and anything that is not mainstream falls by the wayside or is available just as a 3rd party app or accessory.
Let us hope that Windows 8 for tablets will be successful, and that WM 7 advances, so that we get some more competition and real choices.
