And to you «ten years» means «never»?
In ten years time the technological scenario may be profoundly different. Looking at the devices I have around, I cannot state I could foresee ten years ago what is available now. And similar fog covers the scenario in ten years time. Nonetheless, many effective directions have gone towards mobility. I do not see reasons for the trend to stop. And the displays are not there yet.
