One item I just forgot to mention in my 2010 Prognostications entry:
2010 will be the year of mobile (hardware/software/start-ups).
Yes, the iPhone started the real mobile craze, and this was in 2007(?); last year saw the introduction of other smart phones (Palm Pre, various Android phones), as well as a number of mobile services (Square, for example).
But 2010 will see most of the really hot introductions be mobile based – let’s say at least 50% of the “hot intros” of 2010 (as listed in end-of-year stories) will be mobile based.
That’s a huge shift.
But I think it’ll happen.
