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.

Oh, Good. Another In-Flight Fire Hazard to Worry About
In-flight fires caused by gadgets are back in the news after a recent piece in the New York Times warned of yet another risk: fires caused by the rechargable lithium batteries in handheld credit-card machines used by flight attendants to ring up purchases. The Federal Aviation Administration considers the batteries hazardous, and requires special training for flight attendants on airlines who carry spare batteries (some airlines, like Delta and JetBlue, don't carry spare batteries at all).
No fires from the readers have been reported, but according to the same article, in the last two years, a portable DVD has caught fire on a plane, a flashlight placed in a storage compartment exploded, turning into a projectile, and eight people were injured when a battery fell against a metal seat frame and exploded.
Toshiba to Make Gadgets Blu-Ray Friendly
Sony recently announced their latest Sony VAIO NW notebook, which comes fully equipped with Blu-ray disc technology and now Toshiba has just announced that they are next in line to create devices that support Blu-ray storage format.
From HDTVs to laptops to DVD players, Toshiba will start rolling out these new Blu-ray products sometime this year.
First Impressions of the HTC Snap
The HTC Snap has been in stores since the beginning of June, but I wanted to wait until I got my hands on one to give you a run down on its features. At first glance, the HTC Snap has a BlackBerry look to it, more so a BlackBerry Bold than a BlackBerry Curve . .
Sony's Summer Activity Friendly MP3 Player
As cute and as tiny as cord organizers are becoming, dangling wires can still be a nuisance. If you want a no-fuss workout, free from cords or anything else that could get in your way, Sony's W Series Walkman MP3 Player is a tiny music device that offers 2 GB of storage and is directly connected to Sony headphones.
Perfect for joggers or gym rats, this hands-free player even comes with a Zappin feature that will scan through your music and play a portion of the song so you can play it or skip it.
Ask a Geek Girl: How Do I Sync My iPod to Three Computers?
Dear geeksugar,
I use three computers. I have a desktop with all my old data, a laptop for home use and a work computer. Over the last couple of years my music library has spread across all three machines.
Do You Like the Shuffle's Controls in the Headphones?
Yesterday's stealthy new iPod Shuffle announcement may have come as a small surprise, but it wasn't unwelcome; it seemed time to update the lightest, cheapest iPod.
While there are definite pluses (the low price, the 4GB storage, the new voice-over technology) you guys, I, and the Internet in general are in an uproar over the controls being in the earbuds.
Break 'em or lose 'em, you've got to get a new set of the earbuds if you want to use the iPod.
Do iPods Offer Threat for Data Leakage in the Workplace?
A recent survey on whether organizations are prepared for data breaches from iPods, MP3 players and USB flash drives, showed the small devices may be more of a threat than some expected. The survey found that although organizations see rapid growth in the use of these portable storage devices, few have a solution to prevent widespread data loss via these easy-to-lose devices.
- 86 percent of the people polled cited the USB flash drive as the device most often used to store data exchanged between computers; data-centric smart phones with SD cards came in second.
Do You Give Gag Gifts?
Giving gag gifts has become somewhat of a tradition in my family, ever since my aunt gave me a box of strawberry Jello on Christmas morning back in '88. So after 20 years of Richard Simmons workout tapes, boxes of Kleenex, and Tucks Medicated pads, I wanted to switch it up a bit.
After much searching, I think I found the perfect gift: The Hacked and Frayed Flash Drive.
Wireless Gadget Charging Pad - Coming Soon
I think we can all agree that there is nothing more unsightly than cords and wires tangled together in a charging mess. Designs like the Multipot, which combines a sleek light with a storage space for your small gadgetry, may hide the problem, but it doesn't solve it. Lucky for us Wild Charge claims its upcoming device will launch a "wire-free electric power revolution."
