I really doubt that mobile media will take over internet media in a way that is comparable to the way that television took over radio.

People who let their sleep be interrupted by SMS... I would call that an psychological disorder like an addiction. Mobiles will become fully functional internet devices - thats for sure. And badly designed services form the stoneage like MMS will disapear. On the other side SMS has a potential for communication like IM because you can think before your answer. But: When you and your firends have an internet flat on the mobile who would pay for sms anymore?

If Tomi reads the comments on his video, which I bet he does, then I'd advise him to not tell jokes or dance during his talks. He seems quite obviously to be a self-promoter. Was he wearing a big hat when he walked on the stage? What kind of mindset would you have to have to be standing backstage, awkwardly making eye-contact with the stagehands, waiting for your introduction to be over so you can walk on the stage with a big hat on, hoping for some kind of reaction from your audience?
