Nice post Todd... I do have to disagree with the Mobile.

In 2008 adult mobile broke $2 billion in revenue, with only 2% being produced in America. It has a grown a huge amount in America in the last two years and 27 more Countries have started using Smartphones in that two years. This time last year in America, half the phones sold were Smartphones. From 08, 09, and 2010 each quarter the amount of smartphones basically doubles over what it was the previous years matching quarter. The mobile Internet is booming, $37 billion was spent in 2008 for digital content (wallpaper, ringtones, downloadable games, music, video). The Mobile Internet has already taken an extreme chunk out of the PC Internet. The Mobile Internet & Devices are cheaper which is why you see 27 new Countries on the map and the technology isn't grid-locked in patents, allowing the technology to grow/expand & get faster, quicker than PC technology can.

P.S. 3D plays on mobile devices. At some point we will have 3D Skype Video calls. It's going to continue towards faster, better, larger storage mobile devices, which have already started to make the PC obsolete in some homes and even jobs.
