I personally wouldn't call minor revisions to specifications "new technology". After all, hard drives are hardly "new technology" despite the fact that we aren't measuring our storage in kilobytes any more

 

It is new technology that allows the data to be stored at denser levels, etc.. Also newer technology allows for specification changes just as doubling the data rate, etc... The differences between Bluetooth 1.0 and 2.0 are not minor.

By your logic of "new technology", you are saying the PS3 isn't "new technology" either, because it's all just the same game console technology? just aren't measuring the triangles per second at the same rate anymore, etc... Blue ray is just a minor revision to dvd aferall.

well, of course! "New Technology" is a very large and blurry line, definitely not something we need a blue laser diode to see ;) It's all very subjective, so it's hard to pinpoint where something goes from being a "revision" to "new technology". Which is why it's stupid to be having this argument in the first place. =)
