The following are some services, devices, and applications that I'll be
excited to watch over the coming year(s) as they evolve and add even
more cool functionality
Android - which devices makers and carriers will jump on board?
Nokia MOSH - will it become more useful and integrated with new devices?
Dash Navigation (PND) - how cool is it and is it worth the price tag?
Nokia N95 USA version - will North Americans buy it?
ArcGIS Explorer - google earth on steroids?
GeoPDF - more support from Autodesk and others?
GPS integration with iPhone - maybe integrated GPS in iPhone 2?
Jaiku - with Google behind it will it overtake Twitter?
Nokia Research Sports Tracker - maybe rolled out as a commercial app?
WHERE (mobile widgets) - another contest and more cool location-aware apps coming?
N810 Internet (Linux) Tablet - Linux going mainstream finally?
I could go on and on but I'll stop with 11 items - 10 wasn't enough!
