Yes I was thinking the other day that in the PC world there was a time when everyone would have to worry when they bought a PC about the latest specs. Agonizing over MHZ and type of disk, capacity,etc. Then something happened and all PCs pretty much became the same. Suddenly you could stop worrying about specs because the difference between the reputable company's offering was nil.
I think that's happening with smartphones - more specifically Androids.
