Greg Matter : How the New iPod will lead to their self-extinction (eventually!): "I'll bet that we will look back of this era of quasi-networking and wince, 'How did we ever live that way?' And the idea of wanting to carry all of your content with you will seem both old-fashioned and rather ridiculous.
Here's my prediction: a successful portable video player (perhaps the iPod is it) will be THE big driver for significant increases in bandwidth and connectivity. Those increases, over time, will ultimately undermine the utility of 'carry your stuff with you' personal devices and lead to the next era of real-time connected personal network."
Interesting perspective, but "eventually" may be decades...
