Media Shifting
Corded or cordless One device acting as the storage, another
used to consume the content (e.g. set-top box streamed to device like Sling)
For video-out from iOS, needs to be supported by the app

Found in more apps than you’d expect Available from nearly every major terrestrial
video provider & MORE

Continued Integration of Social Networking
Continued in-app integration Interlinking and consolidation of disparate
services (e.g. Google’s 2011 strategic goals: SoLoMo)
