It's supposed to be predictions but it's probably more a wish list 

- RAAT for all current Phantoms, Premier (white, silver, and gold) and Reactor (600 and 900).
- RAAT for Dialog.

So I predict (or wish ?)

1/ Roon RAAT for CI integrated experts
2/ Stereo for Phantom reactors
3/ Devialet will expose a set of API to interact with experts and configurator would be integrated in a new remote app or in "partners" app like roon
4/ New CEO will create a new DaaS (Devialet as a Service) team to work on Devialet integration like with Sky and Free

What would be useful:
1. New remote App
2. New remote with display (feedback)

No idea about Phantom, but for Expert Pro CI...

1. Wireless configurator (no SD card)
2. New app that works
3. Room correction by convolution settings in configurator

To stimulate turnover:

1. Car hifi. Perhaps deals with car-manufacturers.

2. Connecting Expert with Phantom and so creating a surround solution.

3. Devialet amplifiers into speakers-(manufacturers)

That's not necessarily a bad thing. The CI board should keep us busy with upgrades for years.

But I didn’tmean This is limited to the non pro experts.

To add to your list...

Would love to see #2 come to fruition. It’s a shame to have this lovely remote but have to use the iPhone app because it shows the volume level. To have this on the physical remote should be doable.

Native iPad remote app instead of one made for the iPhone. Larger screen would facilitate more direct input options and a overall better interface. 

3rd, the configuration could use a revamping. It’s awkward once in th configuration to get back to and save directly to your saved configurations.

- I predict a change in CEO. Current CEO will step down, no explanations given.

- The announcement of a new Expert "Core Team". No explanation given why previous Expert "Core Team" didn't do anything in over a year.

- new Phantom. A bit more square looking. No support for it whatsoever.

- a very large update hinted by the end of year, with no information if it will be about Expert, Phantom or entirely new line. There will be no more mentions about these hints in the future.

Yes, I predict 2019 will be a déjà vu year for Devialet.

I forgot another prediction, so my list is:

- I predict a change in CEO. Current CEO will step down, no explanations given.

- The announcement of a new Expert "Core Team". No explanation given why previous Expert "Core Team" didn't do anything in over a year.

- new Phantom. A bit more square looking. No support for it whatsoever.

- a very large update hinted by the end of year, with no information if it will be about Expert, Phantom or entirely new line. There will be no more mentions about these hints in the future.

- there will be problems in development of Roon RAAT. There will be hints of imminent release, but release will be postponed every several months.
