Bezels continue to shrink. Witness the Droid DNA and Sony’s upcoming Xperia Android phones. Just imagine how cool the iPad 6 or 7 is going to look sans bezel.

Price of the iPad Mini is perhaps the biggest unknown at this point. My guess: $299-399. Despite the seemingly innocuous idea of a smaller iPad, however, there are actually some big ideas percolating beneath the surface. Here’s a few.

When they Kill Kenny it’s funny, when they Kill the Start Button not so much. Worse still for Microsoft, consumers won’t be running away from the Vista Monster when Windows 8 finally lands this month. Are there compelling reasons for consumers to buy the new OS?

Android is winning because it is by nature customizable by manufacturers, can be retrofitted for a variety of platforms, and gives consumers far more choice (various price points, screen sizes, performance levels).

Try bringing up “cloud computing” at a dinner party (preferably one involving your start-up friends, VCs and/or fans of The Big Bang Theory) and you’ll get anything but consensus.

In only 32 months Google has gone from zilch to the whole kit and kaboodle. That’s astounding.

When the new iPad shipped I was absolutely floored that it was bigger than the previous model. What?! That’s impossible. That never, ever happens! Unless, you’re a hugely successful company that is getting sloppy, innovating less.

Camp Android increasingly looks like a two horse race: Samsung vs. Motorola. I’m guessing that Google’s mobility division is reluctantly pleased that team Samsung is venturing daily into those San Jose courtrooms.
