Here are my thoughts on a few of them... prediction 1 , While apple may retain its top position I predict that there will be a major rework on how the store presents applications. Apple is already suffering backlash from developers and end users on its current app store structure. Prediction 2 It will only be one new model if defined by form size with most of the same functionality. Current model will add a 32 gig model. Prediction 3 Gosh I hope so! The current google android phone has like 2 hrs tops battery life!... not very usable;-) Great predictions… Here are my thoughts on a few of them…

LBS services face distrust by users owing to the loss of personal freedom and control over the technology e.g. intrusive advertising, commercial pressure, loss of autonomy, etc. It is crucial for the service provider to maintain a level of trust with users by acting transparently with regards to personal privacy translating into strict application of a code of ethics on the service use combined with clear and simple information for consumers on the usages that could be made of their location data / ensure consumers have the means of controlling what they can and cannot do i.e. right not to be located, not to be disconnected, choose who will have access to his data, etc. Unless there's clarity on these issues, LBS will not go mainstream With the technical challenges more or less resolved, I think the biggest challenge for LBS is user acceptance (which in turn relates to security and privacy issues).

I hope they make it Couple of my predictions: 1. LBS will still not be able to make headway although even last year was touted as the year of LBS. 2. Nokia will start loosing market share, this will be a bad year for them 3. Android will start gaining ground, not a whirlwind like iPhone but a slow and steady winner in the making.
