LAS VEGAS, NV (Autodesk University), Nov 28, 2011 -- Autodesk wasted no time in declaring its desire for the consumer market. Only a few minutes into the media presentation, VP Chris Bradshaw, who is prone to reminding us that the computing power of his iPhone eclipses the computers of my youth, went on to say the half of us in the room who are now on iPads were representative of the world at large. He sees the rush to mobile computing not abating until there are 10 billion of these devices. Never mind there are only(!) 7 billion people on the earth. That just means that we'll all have more than one. As proof, he asks the assembled media how many of us had more than one mobile computer, meaning a laptop, tablet PC (like iPad) or smart phone? Most of us were guilty as charged.
And on these mobile devices will be many DIYers, hobbyists, artists...in other words, non-professionals. Non-designers. Non-architects. Non-engineers. 
Autodesk's Chris Bradshaw sees a promised land with 10 billion mobile devices
Now this I gotta see for myself. Especially the part that some of us are getting more than one device.
