I predict, in 2008 3GSM, there will be much less of them. Why? Because one year ago, it was still not clear, which philosophy will win, but next year, it will be clear. Browsing will win. There is only one reason, try to ask those application portal companies: "When you will have iPhone client?", there are basically too many different clients there says. It’s not possible to develop for so many devices. On last 3GSM, there were many companies doing on device portals applications. I predict, in 2008 3GSM, there will be much less of them. Why?
