In much the same way there was littl real improvement in film emulsions  
over the past twenty years.  But that didn't make film obsolete - it  
needed a totally different technology to do that.

I suspect that further improvements will be in small increments, but that  
the (relatively) low cost and small size of APS-based cameras will ensure  
their survival for the next ten yeras or so.
