Where does the mobile web take us into the future? There are always some effects that are impossible to predict, but there has to be a definite vector to project into the future. How about the amount of data projected to be downloaded over mobile airwaves over time, or the infrastructure spending that would be required to support it? At some point we will have to wonder what new wireless technology will bridge the gap to keep up with exploding growth.
On the consumer side, our address books get replaced with social networks, local memory with web storage, particularly for photos, and more location-aware services like advertising and service finders. Imagine being at a party that's in your online calendar, taking a photo and having it instantly appear on Facebook on that party's page. Your phone knows where you are and what time it is, plus where you were invited that night. It can match them up pretty easily, and the photos have an obvious place to be filed, then.

PS - Everyone I talk to about this looks uneasy at the suggestion of instant photo publishing.
PPS - So I suggest uploaded photos are not shared automatically, but kept private until authorised.
