Join IDC's Consumer Technology analysts as they present the top consumer predictions for 2012. In this Web conference, IDC will share its outlook for key device, service, and media markets. Some key questions to be discussed include:

• Given new entrants like Amazon's Kindle Fire, the limited success of Android-based tablets in 2011, and the 2012 launch of the Metro UI and Windows on ARM, what will the competitive landscape for tablets look one year from now?
• With strong growth in connected TV experiences, how will over-the-top video impact pay TV and the consumer electronics industry over the next year? What role will companies like Apple, Amazon, and Google play in 2012?
• How will Ultrabooks and consumer PCs fair in 2012 with continued growth in tablets and the launch of Windows 8?
• After many unexpected moves by various players across the mobile and IT ecosystem in 2011 (Nokia+Microsoft, Google intending to acquire Motorola, HP shutting down webOS, etc.), which mobile platforms and players will win in 2012?
