I think the future is only going to get brighter for Raspberry Pi because its niche is as a hacker's machine. It's so inexpensive and versatile for putting together proofs of concept and I think that's where it's real value lies. If you can show a solid working prototype of something on a Pi then the assumption is that a dedicated hardware solution will run even faster... assuming you don't just make a custom case and mounting set for your ad hoc solution and call it good. What I think would kill Raspberry Pi is trying to make it more advanced and powerful than it needs to be, trying to make it a full powered computer rather than a hacker's delight.
