>>>OK, let's set the date, what about 1-1-2015. If there are no desktops, laptops or media centers by then, and only handheld devices, then I am wrong. But seen history repeat itself over the last 50 years, I don't think I will be wrong.

>>I wrote in total not more then 100 text messages in my entire cellphone career/life and every and each was ultimate frustration.

>>Ever since PC revolution took place, Decrease in size is almost directly proportional to decrease in amount of work that can be done on them.

>You see the trend on PCs and TVs, people always want bigger screens. No matter how fancy or "necessary" applications or appliances they make, nothing's gonna change that. A few years ago the cellphones should always be smaller and smaller, now they are getting bigger again to be able to hold a bigger screen. Not even Google will be able to stop the evolution.

It is all about comfort and practicality.
Meny people connect their plasma TV's on PC nowdays to watch cheap
movies downloaded from internet.
My hint is that for home entertainment (and other) purposes TV+PC+INTERNET
will eventually merge into one device and most of programs it will be broadcasted this way. Few internet revolutions from now we will be
all part of BigBrother show :)
