Ground breaking???

It's a combined camera/communication device, not exactly new. It's by Samsung, so you can probably leave out the ground, and stick with "breaking"... like all my Samsung devices have. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

I think people are just too easily impressed, at minor shuffles of existing (and old) techology.
