Lots of interesting info in this slide deck here: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-future-of-mobile-deck-2012-3?op=1 (http://www.businessinsider.com/the-future-of-mobile-deck-2012-3?op=1)
Snippet: in one slide there are four possible notable trends offered in answer to the question, "What's the mobile platform future?" -
- Android gets its act together (...and therefore dominates)
- Microsoft completes Hail Mary pass
- HTML5 nukes native apps
- Apple will take over the world
Google are in trouble with Oracle, which, if it comes out badly for the former will probably mean that Android will need to be radically altered - along with all apps...
2045:
Google buy Apple
2060:
Google buy Microsoft
2113:
Google buy the rights of the Internet
2114
The world explode :)
Fin, and all is good :P
2113: second quarter

2045 internet becomes 100% ADs (google ads)
2045 Q2 people get soo pissed a new underground invite-only internet is created and google is left off. >:D
Look let's not panic! Have you not seen Will Smith in 'I, Robot ? According to this film set in 2035 he saves the world from being taken over by rogue Robots, so surely he will sort out the 'Google Androids' at the same time =D
He is already preparing for war! :D
