11.12.2010
Rumor has it the iPad 2 will continue the FaceTime trend in 2011; the iPad 1 had its fair share of trendiness in 2010; and BlackBerry sales are trending downwards from 2009. Which, I guess makes the remainders for Friday, December 10, 2010 a trend of trends--a metatrend, if you will.

Speculation about the next model of iPad has accelerated in the past few weeks. The latest entry comes from Reuters, which says that sources claim the device will have front- and back-mounted cameras, likely for use with Apple's FaceTime video-chatting system. Wow. Amazing prediction, Kreskin.
