While the consortia are developing a «readiness tool» to assess the state of technology down to a school level, they'll soon have to make a guess as to how ambitious the

major constraint to development.
We often take it for granted that
tech companies will give us a ton more features,
specs, and capabilities for the same price we paid the previous year — but consider that the high - resolution, bezel - deprived OLED screen that Samsung has inside the Note 8 is a
major innovation that no one else has yet matched (though LG and Apple are expected to have the same in their September phone launches).
