2010 Technology Predictions [+rep for playing!]

I agree with a few that have been said but my main one is probably that this Blackberry craze will finally blow over and they'll become obsolete again. I haven't looked at them in detail, but in my opinion they must be very cheap or something for so many people to have them over the likes of the iPhone. They're the ugliest things I've ever seen and look way too fiddly. Haha, this reminds me of back in in like 2002, everyone wanted the tiniest phones imaginable but today everyone has all sorts of bricks :P.

I also think Nintendo will either go even further with their "futuristic" kind of gaming thing they have going on but this time we won't all get suckered in by it so they sell out everywhere.

Venturing to the more unrealistic realms of this thread, I really wish something would be invented where you can watch TV through a digital receiver without an aerial. I don't actually understand why an aerial is needed for the likes of Sky etc (especially now that there is no analogue TV anyway).

I think this too. I was looking at my iPod the other day and was thinking, this is pretty big and heavy for something that just plays 80GB worth of files. Maybe Apple will spend a bit of money on producing some decent earphones for a change.

Apple probably have five more generations of products lined up every time one is released which is why I haven't bought an iPhone yet. You really think they were unable to include a camera in the original one? They just know people will buy it anyway and later on they can release a new version and include features that were previously missing.

My mate was telling me you can't even get Spotify for free any more! He doesn't already have it and it was trying to make him subscribe to download it... Anyway yeah, every time I go back to my Spotify window after that Kia advert, there's a big car in my face and I'm like get the hell off my screen :@.

It is free, they just closed registrations.

Also Motorla isn't the worst phone company out there, Samsung and LG are both the lowest of the low, Motorola made the first consumer mobile phones, without them where would we me?! Admittedly they did go through a very long phase of being ****e but with Android, things are looking up :P

I so would not like that, I think Motorola are one of the worst phone making companies out there. Apart from their new droid device.

I completely agree:)

I said "one" of the worst. I don't like Motorla or LG phones, Samsung are ok but not a huge fan of them.

"- Twitter will fail"

Probably wouldn't happen, it just seems to big for it just fail in 2010. If it did, it would just be me and Stephen Fry all on our lonesome. Haha

I hope it does fail though, only so something more evolved can take its place.
