And who knew that Orbus Gameworks was a giant media conglomerate?! I hope I do turn out to be wrong about the AR stuff.

App's like Wikitude are avalible now, but arnt really in much public hands yet. That will happen next year, and I expect dozens of app's like it will spring up. Google Trends will probably thus show an increase in AR searchs as the tech finaly hits consumer hands in ways other then advertising. I also expect Nintendo's DSi to have very very basic AR games released for it. (one of its built in functions is pointing the camera and changing the colour of stuff in real time, after all...so thats close already). Finaly, theres a few AR devices that will popup, like this one; http://uk.gear.ign.com/articles/940/940240p1.html I'm pessimistic it will be any good, but its certainly a significant step in the right direction. The rest of your predictions seem fairly accurate. Not sure I agree with the AR front.
