At the first BIL in 2008, I gave a talk on millicomputing. The iPhone was a new thing, there was no app store, no Android, and I was building my own homebrew phone (nowadays I write iPhone apps). I made predictions about what would happen in 2009 and 2010 which largely came true, so now it’s time to update the predictions for 2011 and 2012. As I predicted in 2008, iPhone and Android are dominating, and it’s all about the applications, augmented reality is just starting out and I’m still predicting that “assisted telepathy” will provide an immersive life sharing experience fairly soon.
