2011 proved to be a turbulent year for the global economy. Although the economic downturn is reported to be officially over, the global economy still sits on shaky and uncertain ground.

With this in mind, predicting exactly what 2012 will bring seems difficult. ABI Research’s analysts, however, are a little more sure about what exactly they won’t be seeing from the technology sector in 2012. From mobile devices and apps, gaming and 3D, LTE and WiMAX, the connected car and hybrids, and much more, analysts will take a stab at some of the questions on their minds as they head into 2012:

Will anyone stop Apple from bullying operators?

Will RIM pull its ailing tablet business from the market?

Will 2012 be the year of the smart city?

Will LTE finally take the lead in 2012?

What’s the prognosis for NFC?

How will the home automation market shake out?

ABI Research’s “What’s NOT Going to Happen in 2012” provides an informative, decisive, and occasionally humorous read on analysts’ expert opinions for 2012.
