"" Building on previous prognostications, I quite confidently
predict that 2013 will be the Year of Mobile Wayland. I'm
looking forward to it. ""

Doubt!.. well it depends, if it remains quite simple and trivial and that fulfills the requirements, it might have good chances for "Mobile", but that is all of it.

In the future with even entry level superphones with GPUs 5 to 6x more powerful than today... and video engines and "compute" capabiliites (c'mon, its been announced *already* mobile GPUs by everybody -nVidia, Imagination, ARM, AMD- 5 to 6x more powerful than today... and most of laptops could have 2 of them... ), chances are that X reveals itself more useful than Wayland even for mobile...

i think Android will remain *the* reference in this field... an Android will be using Wayland or not ?

I would suggest posting fewer comments with less words - it's very hard to understand what you are trying to say because you are very verbose.

Making messages short and concise can require a lot more time and attention than quick stream-of-consciousness typing.

If writer doesn't feel obliged to do that, I don't feel much obliged to waste my time trying to understand him.
