The past two decades of PC history have been about desktops, servers, and laptops, but the "personal computer" of the coming decade is a small, pocket- or purse-sized device with a brightly lit screen, wireless networking and I/O, a sizable chunk of storage, and plenty of CPU and GPU horsepower on board. In short, you might say that the iPhone is the Macintosh 128K of the post-PC era, the 2008 lineup of Intel-based mobile products are the IBM PC XT, and we're all about to relive the 80s and 90s (complete with a brand new RISC versus CISC faceoff) but on a much smaller scale and in a more compressed timeframe.
