Device: Just a whole bunch. I guess I am a collector now.
digital cameras Small point and click, probably to some extent - just as has happened to a large extent with MP3 players. AS you said DSLR will be around for a long time BUT... DSLR bluetooth or WiMax will likely be on every DSLR camera in 5 years, so they can be remotely controled by a phone or tablet. Today's high end feature is tomorrows mundane feature.

video game consoles consoles for large screen - no smartphones wont get there on graphics power any time soon. PSP and Nintendo DS? Those are toast - Sony has a PSP replacement that is also a phone in the pipeline now.

iPad/tablet PCs, netbooks, I think there will continue to be a bewildering array of all of these, some with wireless internet or phone, and some without.

GPS Like handheld gaming consoles I think this one is toast. I expect GPS on larger phones to be ubiquitous, and I expect in dash GPS to come with your vehicle. If we get decent flexible displays, GPS may move to your steering wheel on top of your airbag.

e-book readers Niche market. But one about the size of the current market. I expect milspec durable e-readers to eventually take over as the medium of choice for technical manuals. prefferably solar powered.
