2006 a major year

Anyone who can tell me what happened to 2005 please let me know by email. 2006 has started, and by the looks of things we have a major year of technology and innovation – not seen since the introduction of the PC.

To name but a few events to happen this year

• Apple move to Intel CPUs, and launch a highly successful PC for the home, as good as the iPod for your living room.


• Microsoft to launch Windows Vista, the successor to Windows XP


• HDTV and 3G become mainstream


• Dual core PC and Laptop chips become the norm


• Internet Booms like a fighter jet on steroids.


• Google launches another spree of products including a service such as Hitwises. Google will actually know who goes to your sites.


• Sony PS3 launches towards 2nd half of 2006, not March as though by many.
  


• Device convergence will progress more rapidly.


• Online music and video on Demand services will become mainstream.


• XBOX 360 entertains the world – if you haven’t got one yet – I suggest you go out and get one wherever u can (the premium is well worth the asking price of £280, and the graphics are AMAZING). You’ll understand why people are paying £500 for them on eBay.


• BlueRay and HD DVD arrive, however they won’t be mainstream until 2007 or when the ps3 arrives).

So what this all means is that I’ll be changing my centrino for an duo core, a VMC instead of my XP, getting a HDTV with IDTV, HDMI, 720, 1080 to marry the 360 and probably end up drooling over the floor.

Coming soon.
I’ll be launching another site soon to keep gadgetry things off my blog.
