Roman Temkin's curator insight,

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. |

Excellent analysis by Gilles Raymond, the founder of mobile and tablet news app News Republic.
In other words, the App Store model is fundamentally a short-tail model which is mimicked after the iTunes store, itself derived from the way music companies launched records: hits or miss...
What the world badly needs is a long tail social/SEO discovery model like we have on the Web and which makes it possible for niche content publishers or e-commerce shops to be discovered. Small is beautiful and I love the variety of the Web: as a former mobile guy, I miss it badly on my smartphone.
But beyond my own opinion, it's the whole ecosystem that needs a healthy mix of organic and paid discovery in order to develop its full potential.
