2013 Technology Predictions [+REP for Playing!]

[mrwoooooooo]

It'd still be cellular data, just bumped around the spectrum, no other method of mobile communication could take the load GSM/CDMA based networks do.

well eventually you wont get minutes or texts on contracts, just data

Isn't the name anticipated to be called iTV? It will not have that name in the UK, for obvious reasons

Predicting anything for next year seems harder than it was for this year :/ The only thing that springs to mind is the possibility of a prototype/early version of a self-creating 3D image (one without glasses). Other than that, it seems the same old usual iPad 4, iPhone 5S/6, Samsung Galaxy IV etc Just an upgrade of names than anything extraordinary,

Again, been around for a while, just expensive, and the tech that powers them is around, just not in the small sizes, you can get small one person ones, but you are looking at like, 10k, and even then its not that small.

I predict that the Nexus line of devices will be upgraded to support 4G.

Bit late now that it's been announced at CES but I should have said widespread release of 802.11ac Wifi products allowing Gigabit Wifi. I'm personally very excited for it.

On the topic of SSDs it appears I was wrong about SSD speeds going up, no manufacturers made claims about substantial improvements during CES. However there was a lot of information on smaller, thinner, higher capacity and cheaper SSDs which is equally good in my opinion.

There was also a lot of Buzz around the 10 Watt version of the Haswell Intel CPUs which show a significant reduction on the previous 17 Watts adding significant time to Laptop battery life.

Tactus also showed off their tactile feedback touchscreens, morphing the 3d shape of the screen to make 'physical' buttons, allowing for more precise keyboard use for example.

I predict that Google will go with Motorola for the next Nexus so they can avoid the current catastrophe that is LG and the Nexus 4. I'm patiently waiting to give them my money but they won't let me!
