And a lot of have iPhones that work just fine on AT&T. :)

Small but promising and established players like HyperOffice might get picked up.

Actually I write about my criteria for Tech IPOs selection here and mention the two IPOs I am looking forward to, if they don’t get acquired, of course:

Becoming a platform is one of the criteria.

It will feel like ’99 again. As for Chrome OS, that’s a tricky one.. if wireless broadband gets cheap and cloud files on the cloud cost significantly less than CPU + RAM on board chances Chrome OS will support online apps only

So if you are a technorati, a $50/month broadband subscription will not be yours any longer regardless of the Mbps up or down. As reported here by GigaOm, the average American consumes 36GB of data per day. Even if a third of that was via mobile (which it is not), that consumption level will bust any bandwidth cap or, in case of tiered pricing, will not be yours for $50/month. Let’s face it – every other utility in the U.S. is tiered (water, electricity, gas, trash). So will be broadband. Thus, what matters are how many gallons of water I consume, not how many gallons/second my water pipes can transport…
