Nexus 1 Anyone?


1.5 inches, eh? It is only a matter of time. Smartwatches will go mainstream. But if all you do on the smartwatch is read more of Twitter and Facebook, then that's not appealing. A smartwatch has got to be smarter than that.

Rumor: Apple Building Bluetooth Smart Watch

In-built health monitoring would be a good one. A health assistant who literally never leaves you.

If the smartwatch is too good will it have battery issues? Could you make phone calls? Should you be able to?

A smartphone you keep with you almost always. The smartwatch should not compete. Or the smartwatch should be able to know if your smartphone is around. If it is around the smartwatch leaves most of the action to the smartphone. But if your smartphone is not around, the smartwatch becomes more alive, takes up more of the functions, upto and including making phone calls. Or what?

The smartwatch talking to your other devices would be the best part.

The Smartphone In Five Years

Siri on the smartwatch would be nice.

The smartwatch would be a great input device for your other devices. But output and display should be left to your phone and tablet if they are around.

The Smartphone In Five Years

What are we looking at?
  • Holographic keyboard and screen - no separate PC necessary
  • Transparent display option - goes on/off on command
  • Super light
  • Super fast
  • Wireless gigabit broadband, always on
  • Super strong 
  • Super smart - an assistant that never goes to sleep and is always batting for you
  • Super battery - an embedded nuclear reactor for energy, or equivalent
  • Beyond touch, totally NUI, Natural User Interface, 3D 
  • Limitless storage in the cloud, made possible because non unique stuff is shared 
  • Unbreachable security, your phone can not be used by anyone else, protected by technology and global law



This is inevitable: the iPhone, 5 years into the future

Quantum Dots


Quantum Dots Give Notebooks a New Glow
A layer of nanomaterial that gives a liquid-crystal display the rich range of colors usually possible only with more expensive technologies will be commercialized later this year by the materials giant 3M and Nanosys ..... Liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) .... organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) ..... their film—a sheet of plastic embedded with nanoscale spheres of indium-phosphide and cadmium quantum dots—makes it possible to match the color gamut of an OLED in an LCD ...... a typical high-end LCD provides only about 70 percent of the color range in a standard called Adobe RGB, while an LCD with this film provides the full gamut (as does an OLED display)
OLED quality displays at the price of LCDs.

Nanotech is seeping into traditional tech.
