Nonencyclopaedic and unverifiable information in violation of WP:BALL. Likely also falls into either WP:HOAX or WP:ADVERTISING. 128.84.234.200 Egnalebd (talk) 07:37, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. At least some of the predictions are attributed to unambiguously reliable sources, such as the Baltimore Sun. By keeping this article, Wikipedia isn't offering any predictions of its own; it is simply reporting that others have made some interesting predictions.

Good papers, yes, but speculation nonetheless. One good indicator of how clueless the journalists are is their contradictory illustrations---I'm pretty sure one of them is a a Game Gear. Supposing now that the thing is real, this article is either an outgrowth of online Slashdot-style hype (and not encyclopaedic) or an Apple-style astroturfing.
