Is AF-C basically a myth for NEX?

PDAF version 0.1.  Joking, but PDAF on sensor is new technology that hasn't been around too long.  Fuji used it on some point and shoots a few years back, and just in the last year or so we have Nikon V1, Sony NEX, Canon EOS-M, Samsung NX (300), and Fuji X100s which are all offering PDAF on sensor.

If you look at the early versions of autofocus in the 1980's, they were pretty bad too.  Early models were implemented in lens, then they went to phase detect, etc.  It took many generations for them to sort it out.
