Enter the Dragon

Hello Readers,

    It's the new year, and the year of the Water Dragon.  This year, we shall probably witness more tablets than ever, and a slew of new "Ultrabooks" amongst other stuffs.  Kindle will probably take some more market-share and mind-share of eBook readers.

    Android will no doubt be as aggressive as ever to try and win more market share from iOS devices.  As more Apps become more Androidapable and hardware becomes insanely cheaper from vendors in the lights of Samsung and LG,  we shall see more people migrate to the Android platform.  Although some portion of the iOS population are locked-in and will not migrate.  These are the die-hard fans, Apple fan-boys and folks that have invested in alot of software and accessories that only work with their favourite iDevice.

   As for monitors, I see 27-inch sizes becoming more a common ground - and hopefully some of them will become 2.5K pixel density (aka  2560x1440 pixel resolutions).  As monitors become 2.5K, TVs will become smart and slowly migrate to 4K resolutions.

   With the invasion of tablets, home automation will become increasingly common.  the iGeneration babies will grow up and adopt a more automated home with motorized curtains, lightings and room temperatures.  When will there be an automated vacuuming robot that do house work? !! ke ke ke ( giggles)

   This blog has been left more or less inactive for quite a while, as I work a hell of alot and gets little time for it.  But I hope this year, I can recruit some of you to help with content.. so if there are any volunteers, do contact me !

Cheers
Steven
