The future success of any digital media electronics it seems will come in the form of added value that their respective app store will provide.

Mobile phones are only the tip of the iceberg.  HD televisions I predict will be the next big area that the app store model will expand into.

The HTPC (home theater PC) revolution will finally come to fruition in the form of advanced HD TV’s that have all of the computer processing features built into them.

This will allow developers to build widgets and other applications that enhance the televisions’ media features.

Users will simply be able to connect and browse an app store channel from their TV and buy various add-on software from their couch.

From games to screen savers to email, RSS, and the many social sites, the living room laptop and tablet will then be threatened by the new HTPC HD TV.  (try saying that 5 times fast!)

In fact, "television" most probably will become just an app in itself, and the internet will be your PVR.

Here you will find my thoughts on all matters regarding software, design, business, and sometimes life in general.
