2013 Technology Predictions [+REP for Playing!]

Another year, another thread. I cannot believe we're right back here already again!

The Habbox Forum Technology Predictions thread makes the rounds again this year, and as I predict every year - I'm sure we'll find out most of what's happening in the next few weeks at CES. Until then we should probably place down some bets on what technology will be on our doorsteps by this time next year!

But first I'll have a quick review of last year's predictions.

Lower SSD Prices
Matt was the first to make the call on this one and I stepped a little bolder, naming a price. 50P per Gigabyte may have been a little too bold, although were getting close!

New iPhone
Doesn't take much predicting, in fact pretty hard to resist it. But Nli. correctly predicted the iPhone 5 as being Widescreen!

New Apple Product
A few people predicted a new apple product, mostly predicting an Apple TV. Only half correct however, we only got an iPad Mini.

4G
Samm correctly predicted 4G presumably as coming to the UK.

Cheaper and Better Tablets
Eoin247 correctly predicted that tablets needed to become cheaper and better in order to take some market share from Apple.

Last year's thread: http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=731416

my prediction is that apple products will be a lot cheaper

lol joke i predict that they'll be more expensive

I predict we might be closer to augmented reality devices, maybe some working prototypes although not too sure.

A lot more places will have access to fibre optics including from what I've heard some places currently with bad speeds .e.g country based.

I think we'll also see a lot more laptop/tablet/PC hybrids with Windows 8. Windows 8 could become a big player especially with the pro tablet coming out (although pricing and lack of 3g/4g may put people off).

We may see early prototypes for next generation gaming consoles e.g. the new playstation and xbox

Lets starts with the obvious; a new iPhone and iPad :P. However, I think the iPad will have a design change, possibly being more like the new iPhone/iTouch/iPad Mini with slate/black, and white/silver. New Mac Pro (not really a prediction - they've already told us!). More devices using Windows 8, I guess you could say that's kind of obvious as well. Lower SSD prices :P. I think an updated iPad Mini, and I'm just gonna say yes, it will have a retina display. A new iMac, but it won't get retina display. Demos of a new Xbox console, and possibly a release towards the end of the year. Can't think of anything else right now!

New xbox and playstation out for Christmas

Google tvs and Google tv boxes everywhere

Cheaper oled tvs

Cheaper higher res pc monitors (2560 x 1600)
