singularity of tech. can we expect more?

in the last few days i was watching the latest tech giant (Samsung) unveil their new phones and mobile gadgets and i just couldn't think about any else but the sad truth that mobile technology is at its peak , but rather in an unpleasant way.

each mobile phone out there is a black box with a touch screen and it can do (almost) everything we came to expect from a mobile device . a large lithium battery and some camera futures that are niche or gimmick but nothing that relay makes your inner child aw . as i see it just like laptops and personal computers did few years ago. all of the large companies are relay in a slow walk to singularity. some try to create a better walled garden like apple or Samsung and some try to invest in better cloud computing services (Microsoft, amazon etc) but it all seems to bleak in my opinion, and the truth is i have not found an interesting research or any thing that can be implied to personal smarter devices that actually makes a tech leap in any direction. (folding tablets i can put in my pockets are not the thing).

do you feel the same? can we expect a leap of sorts now days? maybe its the narrowing of imagination of engineers working days and nights on debugging rather than on dreaming what can be built and made that makes life better?

would love to hear your ideas and maybe contradictions to these thoughts.
