Gazing through the Crystal Ball - MS Devices in 2017??

[dronkula]

So, what devices do people predict Microsoft will be announced in 2017?

I think, in order of likelihood:

1) Surface Pro 5
2) Surface 4
3) Surface Phone
4) SurfaceWatch (or Microsoft Band 3/Surfaceband)
5) Surfacebook 2
6) Surface Mini

4, 5 and 6 are extremely long shots - after the upgrade announced for the Surfacebook earlier this year, I don't think they'll talk about Surfacebook 2 next year, I think it's pretty much accepted that the SurfaceMini is dead, and I didn't actually even think of a Surfacewatch but then stumbled on a tech story (through MSN News) which talked about it.

Would they bother with the Surface 4 though? Or maybe re-classify it away from the Surface 1, 2 and 3 to avoid confusion between it and it's bigger 'Pro' brother. Has Surface 4 not been released/announced because it will be an ARM device - but this time able to run full win32 applications unlike Surface 1+2 with Windows RT?

Disc-less Xbox One for $199. Make it happen, MS!

2, 3, 4, and 6 merged in one single device.
