I think several of these are spot on. You already nailed Retina obviously. Next up is Apple Television sets, which many rumors are pointing to an announcement either late this year or early next year. Kindle Fire will ultimately either fail, increase in price (perhaps different versions of the Fire?). Microsoft phones will catch on, but never lead the market. Hollywood can't be killed any time soon. However, as tech gets better, the ability to produce high-quality content will shift in favor of the indies. Free wireless seems like a no-brainer, but the companies that control those channels are already terrified of losing ground to new tech, so offering something for free (that they can't arbitrarily raise the prices on to make up for other areas) is something they won't be keen to do. Facebook needs to focus hard on mobile. Everyone knows this.<p>Good read.

I can't imagine anyone buying a Facebook phone. Pretty much everyone hates their tech. Even my parents. Why would anyone take a risk on a phone they were involved with?
