1 The possible release of the new Apple tablet 2 The new challenge of leaving school and finding an awesome job*Hint 3 A new version of the iPhone and the iPhone OS 4 The general rise of mobile and the idea of normal people using this technology 5 The public launch of CashCollie 6 Mobile apps for bus and train traffic in Belgium 7 Meeting even more cool people doing even cooler stuff 8 More people using stuff like Gowalla ( the right way ) 9 The internet and social media that become more serious and less chitchat 10 Be happy !
The 5 things I am NOT looking forward to:
1 Flash running on the iPhone ( no matter how ) 2 More Facebook and other Social media spam 3 Android phones with ugly custom interfaces 4 More augmented reality junk 5 Paying for all the things that where free in 2009
That augmentend reality stuff however could be applied for more interesting concepts: http://ardrone.parrot.com/parrot-ar-drone/en
Doesn’t look like it’s ever gonna be affordable for children, but nevertheless it’s a cool concept.
As for the rest, I’m sharing many of your top 10 things. Especially no. 4 are 6 are interesting expectancies.
Would be interesting to hear your arguments against Flash on iPhone.
The parrot is indeed a really cool way to use augmented reality ! ( not junk )
I don’t like the idea of flash running on the iPhone because it would give you a lot of junk like banners and old ” crappy ” games. Also the idea of lazy developers to port their old unsuccessful apps to the iPhone in the hope the would earn something with it doesn’t give me hope. Another reason is the performance on older iPhones because Flash would have to run in the background.
Hmm, most IAB banners do fall back on animated gif’s if flash is not supported, but I assume you mean those annoying overlay’s and takeover’s etc, so yes, you have a point.
On the other hand, it breaks a load of websites when not supporting it. There are pros and cons, but I would be surprised if Apple keeps holding on to the current situation.
I expect to see Flash Lite on iPhone soon, but since it’s essentially Adobe that’s begging Apple to support it, I can imagine that Adobe will need to limit the SDK to whatever Apple thinks is needed to protect the quality of the user experience.
Maybe more news on this in less than two weeks ;-)
