Some predictions from me:

Ping will continue to be developed, but not be that successful.
Chrome will become the most popular browser (if it isn't already?)
Google will release a new project - to do with social things (big range I know eg. email, chat)
.co domains will fall in price
PS Move and xBox Kinect will have far more games, but the hype will gradually die down.
A new fight against piracy will start in the UK - like in the USA

More tomorrow x

Chrome won't become most popular, it will however get close to overtaking IE.
Ping will be silently removed from iTunes.
The EU is going to force ACTA through sometime soon anyway.

Mine:

Android Tablets will start outselling the iPad (The galaxy tab might be already..)
Steve Jobs will sort of admit that the Galaxy tab is a better form factor
Free CR-48s FOR EVERYONE (Naaaw jks)

samsung are releasing curved glass screens, possibly trying for 3D on phones.

i will continue to buy apple products despite not being able to afford them.

I'm really looking forward to duo core netbooks and phones, a better Android fitted tablet as well as a Windows 7 tablet with 3G and good battery life.

I would say that those are commonly retailed.

Read what I put please. ;)

I'm talking about 8 or more cores, or higher DEVELOPMENT with 6-cores, as in, better utilized.

There already is ping integration :S

Anyway, obviously a new iphone and ipad, but the predictions are what. i think:
ipad: retina display, less black space, possible a bit smaller, and lighter.
iphone: better camera, faster processing, and i still think they might push for 3D lol..

anyway, in relation to this, http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/12...ple_3d_patent/ , i think that we'll be seeing a new product this year from them, but probably nearer the end of the year.

Possible announcements for ps3 and 360 successors. Its the next step though, theres not much more they can do if im honest. xbox can increase the disc space by using BD's so thats where they may go.

Repped everyone up to page four - Casanova is where I will next rep people tomorrow.

A new Nintendo Wii will be announced (Wii HD)

Tbh I think the Wii "HD" won't happen for another couple of years.

Same thing for the iPad, a retina display or a push for 3D doesn't seem physically plausable right now IMO.

I'm hoping for something like Spotify to come out in 2011 that will allow users mobile access without paying £10 per month, £5 would be a nice starting point.

The very last one would be lovely to see, especially at the £5 price. :P
