development cycle for new "smart"phones is at least 2 years. that means that a device to be released in 2011 can sport a completely new generation of chips. omap4 is announced for 2010 and is said to have multicore, a clock of 1ghz (out of the box!), enough processing power for 1080p decoding (something that not even some notebooks manage) and 720p recording (read: encoding on the fly). Note that I have no idea what 2011's phones will have under the hood, the omap4 is just a possible example. comparing an omap3 phone to a prototype with one of these monster chips is completely pointless. no one would complain that the n810 would be less potent than its possible successor. tl;dr: in 2-3 years there will be awesome phones.
