half right, little bit right, sort of.. :) But agreed yours is better than the rest. But your predictions were also pretty broad.
[On #3 - we all know OpenID hasn't taken off. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=375011]
I found dcurtis predictions then a lot better. Except for #7 which was a total give away.
1. Semantic web searching will not even dent Google.
2. EVDO/UMTS/WiMAX will finally make the internet as ubiquitous as cellular phone technology. 2008 is the year of connected portable devices. Kindle, iPhone, and Dash are its origins.
3. The iPhone will gain a huge chunk of the mobile device market, and after the 3G version is introduced with a spiffy sdk, it will engulf Windows Mobile like a bear eating an ant.
4. This election will have the most informed voters in history due to the ease of research through Wikipedia. (Though the actual voting will be just as aimless.)
5. OpenID-based login systems will grow in popularity.
