Hot Gadget Predictions For 2008
Wondering what's going to be hot and not-so-hot in the upcoming year? Here are some of my gadget predictions for 2008!
OLED Televisions: Surprisingly OLED TV's weren't overly popular in 2007, even though they created quite the buzz with their super-slim design, energy saving technology, and exceptional screen quality.

The Bright and Sassy OLED Digital Picture Frame From Kodak
At CES this week, Kodak showed off its 7.6-inch OLED digital picture frame that can store up to 10,000 photos on 2GB of internal memory. Usually I don't go ga ga over digital picture frames — I feel they are best suited for parents or grandparents — but I can't help but take notice at the plethora of functions this model has. With WiFi that can connect to RSS feeds, Flickr, and Kodak Gallery accounts, and you can access the news, weather and sports.
Sony Gets Skinny With The OLED TV
At CES 2007, the Gizmodo team had the chance to spot Sony's gorgeous new OLED TV (OLED meaning organic light-emitting diode). This prototype TV is ultra skinny, measures 27 inches, and projects beautiful sharp quality images. OLED technology is neat because it doesn't require any backlighting, which will save your energy and your money!
CES 2008: In Awe of eMagin's OLED Microdisplay Headset
Before you start laughing, I'll admit that eMagin's SVGA 3DS OLED-XL microdisplay headsets aren't particularly sexy, but who needs glamorous gear when you've got extraordinary pieces of technology right before your eyes?! With this microdisplay you get both analog- and digital-signal process in a tiny compact display, therefore eliminating the need for an external television screen.
When I tested out the OLED microdisplay, it was connected to a Dreamaz Indicube personal media player, which allowed me to watch videos on a virtual screen size equivalent to 52 incheds by 2 meters!
Do You Have a Flat Screen TV Yet?
I remember looking at my old tube TV and thinking what a sad, old, honkin' piece of old technology it was. Like Richard Simmons, I wanted to drop the unneeded bulk and upgrade to the skinny model: The Flat Screen. I eventually did it, with a 50-inch Sony that's all I dreamed it could be.
Turn Your Pics Into a Music Video With Animoto
I love iPhoto's slideshow feature, but if you aren't a Mac fan (or even if you are), and want a fresh, simple, and quick way to put some music to your pics, check out Animoto.
Animoto is different from a regular slideshow, since the program does all the work for you. It analyzes your photos you upload (via your computer, Flickr, or another photo-sharing website) and your music choice, then creates a custom slideshow (or more appropriately, music video) for your pics.
WWDC Highlights: No (Wo)Man's Land
Although I feel right at home surrounded by gadgets and technology, attending the WWDC made me realize that I was walking into a man's world. Making my way to the West Hall of the Moscone Center, I could see that the line outside was 99 percent XY chromosome, and only a spattering of ladies braved the gaggle of geeks alone.
Even though I was outnumbered, I could still find joy in the little things that happen when you get this many geeks together in one place.
Microsoft Announces the Zune HD: Coming This Fall
Zune fans rejoice! The multitouch Zune HD has just been announced by Microsoft and is said to be coming to store shelves this Fall. This new portable media device will sport a 3.3-inch, OLED touchscreen display, be able to play high-def videos, and will feature a built-in HD receiver so you can listen to HD radio.
CES '09 Recap!
Hey, in case you missed it, the Super Bowl(s) of the geek world took place last week here in San Francisco and Las Vegas: Macworld and CES! We saw lots of hot products (and a few unbelievable ones) being unveiled this year, and personally, I'm anxious to get my hands on a few of these beauties. You can check out my Macworld roundup here, but in the meantime, have a look at some of my favorite things from CES below!
