10 Hopes for 2009/2010

Having recently written up my five predictions for 2009, these are my hopes for 2009-2010.

1. Batteries on all laptops will last at least 5 hours, and netbooks will all last at least 10 hours on a charge.

2. Netbooks will have enough power to do more than just word processing and internet surfing. I don't expect to do gaming on one, but the ability to edit photos quickly would be nice.

3. The iPhone and iPod Touch will both be updated to last more than 10 hours on one charge.

4. Apple will release a tablet pc.

5. Mobile devices will start to draw power from their surrounding(so your phone can charge itself from ambient heat, light, radio signals etc)

6. Wireless power will be implemented on a fairly large scale.

7. Broadband will be affordable at 20mbps/20mbps.

8. Mobile broadband will top 10mbps/10mbps in practical, real world usage.

9. Flash drives, sometime in 2010, will beat hard drives in $/gig(less is better).

10. Windows 8(or whatever is in the works in 2009) will include a linux terminal(please!)

look at the modBook, it is a third party tablet running mac OSX. Apple has said that they are OK with it.
