Lots of people buy porn on a mobile device, it's 3-5% of the traffic and equal to the buying power of the PC Internet. People are using the device for email, life, chat, business, etc. The need to use a PC to get that fix or for any reason, is going away.

Of the countries mentioned how many are a flat out wash to even enter with a decent product of any kind?

It's only about price in some Countries, for most it's about Internet Speed. The people can have money to spend, they just don't Internet or the PC Internet they do have is complete shit or restricted to internet cafe because of a limited amount of bandwidth.
Mobile devices have lifted that limit... these are people with money to spend and the mobile device offers the ability to spend money, without a credit card - in some Countries.

As these years pass by, the mobile device will be able to plug into your TV/projector and play whatever movies you want, streaming or live. The Mobile phone will become faster than the PC is.
No worries, no anti-anything going on here... We're all here to make some money. Mobile isn't a cake walk, it's for sure not something you slap up and walk away from. The technology is an extreme pain in the ass and changes all the time, it has no real standard. But that's why I think it's here to stay. However if 3D is hot and can pull in the numbers, then no reason to ignore it either - for sure when it will work on so many technologies.
