Interactive TV is the future …and always will be. So the saying goes – but I predict this year will be different and Apple’s tablet (just a big ‘ol Newton right!? :-O) will be the game changer here. The ancillary device in the home (esp. the living room) makes sense now for the first time. Apple will launch a great platform – devs will ship cool apps for it – consumers will eat it up – and “presto” – a super cool interactive TV experience (no – not Jen’s sweater set) will be born.

Predictions –

We may see the emergence of “micro-services”; which are a highly specialized use-model applications. Something where APIs are built to say, compare fuel prices or nightclub newsletters; these micro-services can be mashable and consumable on a highly customized bases to each users set-up. What is needed though is an iTunes-like payment acceptance program to make micro-services work. There is a likelyhood that mobile phones will enable the use of micro-services like what is seen in Japan where they are used to pay for railway passes. Also the phone could become the credit card starting in 2010.
