2008 Predictions

Posted by: TJ in My Work
  1. Google mobile operating system will start a landslide of development and force a shift in the carriers business model/monopoly.
  2. A war of mobile browsers, and more importantly the philosophy of a full vs. reduced experience will rage on without a clear cut winner.
  3. WiMAX will start showing up and speeeeed is goooooooood.
  4. Apple will start releasing HiDef content, on iTunes, from the TV and Movie Studios.
  5. A Republican will NOT be elected to office.
  6. California will experience a 9.4 magnitude earthquake and will slip into the ocean leaving Nevada with ocean front property. Not really in 2008 but it will happen at some point
  7. Flex apps and their versatility will come to light and the developer community will flock to it.
  8. Martin G. will grow hair….. NOT 
  9. Delivery of 2D barcodes to your mobile phone will start popping up everywhere as a substitute for traditional printed tickets. Currently there are a few baseball stadiums, Continental Airlines and soon to be Las Vegas Monorail (Courtesy of Twelve Horses and Swiftpass UK)

    I really like #1 and #2. As for #3, I think WiMax is on life support and the tv spectrum auction might be the final nail.

    Possibly but Sprint and Clearwire have already invested huge dollars into their WiMax infrastructures, as well as some other smaller players. There may be some uncertanty but I don’t think it’s as impractical as “life support”.

    “A Republican will NOT be elected to office.”

    That’s a ballsy call. There are a LOT of offices.
