My friend Gilles Raymond, News Republic's founder, makes 5 unpolitical correct predictions on the future of tech - particularly tech devices. As the leader of one of the largest news app for mobile, tablets and smartwatches and someone who's been in the mobile device industry for ages, his views are always sharp and I like that he challenges the status quo.
As as far as tablets are concerned, I believe there's a usage niche that will keep them a small but alive market. Not as a computer replacement but as a gaming / entertainment device for the home (as Gilles observed: nobody seems to carry them around to the office anymore).

Facebook is currently my biggest non-Apple app. If they are going to take away a major function, I sure hope that they dramatically decreases the apps file size. |

Carriers must hate this. The SIM card which had always been the most precious piece of equipment for them, connecting subscribers and all their data, billing info to their systems, is no longer their monopoly. With that move, Apple can now establish a position where it can broker relationships with carriers as opposed to the other way around. And eventually could end up acting as its own carrier.
