My friend Gilles Raymond, News Republic's founder, makes 5 unpolitical correct predictions on the future of tech - particularly tech devices. As the leader of one of the largest news app for mobile, tablets and smartwatches and someone who's been in the mobile device industry for ages, his views are always sharp and I like that he challenges the status quo.
As as far as tablets are concerned, I believe there's a usage niche that will keep them a small but alive market. Not as a computer replacement but as a gaming / entertainment device for the home (as Gilles observed: nobody seems to carry them around to the office anymore).

Facebook is currently my biggest non-Apple app. If they are going to take away a major function, I sure hope that they dramatically decreases the apps file size. |

Newly introduced AppLinks could finally end the fact that you can't link from one app to the next just like you can on web sites.
If this works (and if you've tried Facebook messenger, you've seen it does), this is huge news for the mobile industry as it could completely revamp the distribution model for mobile services which - right now - are the monopoly of App Stores.
With App linking, we could potentially finally see long-tail Apps get some traction without being an AppStore hit - a model built from iTunes around the old-fashioned idea of music hits. Google in particular could use this to directly link search results to screens within Apps. Which means SEO would - finally work - for mobile Apps discovery.
And of course Facebook - the giant of display ads and mobile download ads - will leverage this too.
