The lack of innovation is because of lack of competition, the mobile space very competitive, innovative and healthy. For example the latest in high end smart phones sport a 1920x1080 display, which is the maximum resolution that my monitor currently uses. In my eyes the technical leaps of mobile are ridiculous.
I'm wondering when some of the mobile innovations will result in some cheaper high quality laptops, because as of this moment $600 gets me a brand new top of the line quality phones and tablets while the same $600 in the laptop market gets me an entry level laptop.
What annoys me the most is that Microsoft has been trying to push touchscreens for over a decade at this point. At first the problem was that they were pushing a keyboard & mouse interface onto touchscreens, and now they're pushing a touchscreen interface onto keyboard & mouse with their Metro UI. Nothing has really changed it's just flipped now.
