Of course, something to keep in mind is that as according to Moore's Law (which remains amazingly accurate even after all this time), that every five years or so, capacity will roughly increase by an order of magnitude.
So if we have mobile phones with quad-core 1.6 GHz processors now, which pretty much has all the capabilities of a fairly decent low-end desktop system (certainly better than anything I have in the house), what the next several years should bring will be truly amazing.
