2010 E-Wishes

2010 came, and CES is really close but what are my e-wishes for this year.

By e-wishes I mean gadgets, gizmos, electronics that I want this year to appear in the hands of consumers, not mine necessarily.
Firstly I will make a top 10 comment on them and then I will write about my future posts.


10. Sixteen-core processor on one chip - Sounds futuristic but I am sure the technology is there, maybe is not cost effective yet, but I hope it will have a positive effect on servers and virtual hosting. This way less numbers of servers will be used and still making the same amount of work with less energy.


9. Wireless N devices, can be ofcourse wireless routers, smartphones, laptops, Blu-Ray players, even HD radios. We all need faster speed when we are near a public hotspot. This will be achieved but will it be at an oaffordable price?


8. Tablet-PCs. I searched the internet but I couldn't find enough tablets. I don't know why but they are not too popular. With Windows 7 here and it's multitouch usage I hope this year will bring more tablet PC's on the market to make computing easier and more fun.


7. 3D TV. I want a 3D TV that I can watch without special glasses but I guess this won't come to early. They may be expensive and rare but I still want one model to appear this year to make other manufacturers to bring them out at least next year.


6. Greater resolution smartphones. The 800x480 resoultion is nice but HD capable smartphone with HD resolution will make watching videos, podcasts and the overall software design much nicer. This makes me think why Microsoft doesn't make a Zune phone.


5. Color E-reader. I know I am not the only one who wishes this, maybe everyone who owns an e-reader wishes the pictures, internet sites, and the overall software interface would look great in color. I think that's why the Nook has so much success. A little color goes a long way.


4. Much cheaper and bigger capacity SSD drives. They can lower the prices but don't want to yet, in my opinion, until they have a bigger market they can not afford lowering the price.


3. OLED TVs. The are really slim, the colors are fantastic but I think the technology is not there yet to create plasma sized TVs. But a dorm room sized TV won't hurt.


2. Slim tower gaming destops. A lot of power in a slim tower (it rhymes :)), is possible if you have great airflow or liquid cooling. And think of all the participants of a lanparty, with the smile on their face when the don't have to carry around a more expensice and lower spec laptop.


1. Really affordable DSLR. I want one but can not afford it, I have to buy a compact and change the firmware to have a camera a little more close to a DSLR but still not enough.




Bonus places - Where will a reliable printer will appear and when RIM will release a proper browser for it's smartphones.




Like I said now I will tell you what my plans are for the next blogposts.


From 7 until 10 of January I will post everyday my opinions about my one favourite thing that was anounced that day and on 11 or 12 I will present my overall favourite from those posts with more opinions and examples why I chosed it.




So I hope it will be a great CES and maybe some of my e-wishes will come true in these days.
