I very very sincerely disagree with several of the points.
When it comes to digital cameras, yes, at some levels. Point and shoots, etc I can see being phased out. SLRs, etc will stay around.
Video game consoles, hahahah, yeah right. MS, Sony, and Nintendo have too much of a stranglehold on the market. When it comes to handheld gaming, that is a slightly different story. While other companies, like Nokia, have failed miserably with bringing more traditional video games to cell phones, Android and iPhone have made some headway. I don't seeing handhelds dying out any time soon though. Graphics are a big deal for games, and cellphones simply cannot keep up with dedicated gaming devices, without sacrificing quality in some other area (like battery life). Plus it is much easier from a developer standpoint to create for one set of hardware, compared to a elastic range (such as on phones). That is why PC games tend to be buggier than their console counterparts.
Tablets/Netbooks, not really. Some things are just more difficult on a small device.
GPSs I will have to agree on. We've already seen a drop in sales on those, since cellphones do just as good of a job, and most automatically update their maps. One less thing to carry with no drop in quality.
