			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>e-Commerce is growing by leaps and bounds and people are splashing money on online purchases through not only desktops and laptops but also via their smartphones and tablets. According to a latest survey conducted by Adobe Digital Marketing Insights, tablet owners trump when it comes to spending money on online purchases. Tablet owners tend to spend 50 percent more than their smartphone counterparts.  Tablet owners also spend more money than PC owners and on average, spend 20 percent higher one-commerce.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/adobe.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37871" title="adobe" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/adobe.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="252" /></a></p>
<p>The report also stated that Laptop and PC users tend to spend $102 per purchase in 2011. In contrast, tablet owners spent $123 per purchase and smartphone owners tallied $80 per purchase. Tablet owners not only spend more money, they are also prone to make more purchases. On an average, a tablet owner makes three times as many purchases as a smartphone owner makes.</p>
<p>Adobe Digital Marketing Insights collected the data from about 150 US retailers in 2011. The report takes into account more than 16.2 billion transactions carried out last year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CES is finally over and we thought we’d do one more round-up, which will contain the best of the rest; from new TV technologies to rival OLED, mobile phones and tablets that you may have missed during giant the tech scrum.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/acer_A700.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37794" title="acer_A700" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/acer_A700.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="372" /></a></p>
<p>Acer dropped a ‘one more thing moment’ at the end of their CES keynote and it came in the form of their Iconia Tab A700 their new flagship tablet, which has Ice Cream Sandwich and a whopping quad-core processor.</p>
<p>It hasn’t been officially unveiled, so details about its final specs remain scant, but it was on the show floor for consumers and journalists to have a quick play.</p>
<p>The first thing we noticed is the amazing new screen, it boasts an impressive resolution of 1925&#215;1200, which is just a shade above 1080p. It’s bright and pin sharp, and surely means that plenty of other tablets will make the jump to retina-esque displays in 2012&#8230;.ahem Apple.</p>
<p>Not only does this mean 1080p playback, it also gives things like text and magazines a little more zing, and makes them look more like printed paper than digital text.</p>
<p>The tablet isn’t going to win a beauty contests, it’s the typical glum Acer design. It’s 9.8mm and a lot lighter than many had expected considering its power capabilities. But, if it’s not inconceivable that it could get a facelift when it finally makes it to market.</p>
<p>The A700 comes with Ice Cream Sandwich, 1.3Ghz quad-core tegra processor, 9,800 mAh battery, 5 megapixel camera, micro USB and microHDMI – there’s no word on price, but we’d imagine it’s going to be towards the higher end of the market.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/sony_crystal_led_full-8740033.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37795" title="sony_crystal_led_full-8740033" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/sony_crystal_led_full-8740033.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="435" /></a></p>
<p>LG may have stole the show with their amazing OLED technology, but, Sony were on hand at CES to try and steal a bit of their thunder.</p>
<p>They announced a new prototype screen technology called Crystal LED, which they hope will prove to the new defacto screen technology. But can it really compete with OLED ?</p>
<p>Sony showed off a new 55-inch panel which is made up of millions of tiny LED&#8217;s that act as pixels and offers a Full HD self-emitting display.</p>
<p>The method they’re using ‘dramatically improved the light and efficiency’ and offers higher contrast ratios, wider colour gamut and incredibly hight refresh rates, when compared to LCD and Plasma’s</p>
<p>Intriguingly, Sony added this new technology was &#8220;parallel to its continued development and commercialization of OLED displays, and Sony will work conscientiously to bring the &#8220;Crystal LED Display&#8221; to market.&#8221;</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve yet to find out the juicy information such as when we&#8217;ll see the technology in use or whether it will cost the earth, but Sony better get a wriggle on before Samsung and LG&#8217;s OLED TVs start to gain traction in the market.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/Sony-Xperia-Ion.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37796" title="Sony-Xperia-Ion" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/Sony-Xperia-Ion.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="320" /></a></p>
<p>Not only did Sony show off the new Xperia S which his the Arc HD in all but name, but they also had another handset on show the Xperia Ion.</p>
<p>It’s the first phone to come out of the new Sony buyout and on paper this handset is an impressive beast. Specs-wise it’s a great phone: a dual-core 1.5Ghz processor, 16 BG of internal storage and a 12 megapixel rear camera.</p>
<p>There’s a front-facing camera on the front capable of recording in 720p. In other exciting news the new phone comes with a massive 4.6-inch screen with an impressive resolution of 1280&#215;720, which Sony is calling HD Reality – the handset also comes with Music unlimited and Video unlimited too.</p>
<p>The main selling point for the Ion is that it’s Playstation certified, meaning gaming on the go will have never looked so good on a mobile. The specs bragging doesn’t stop there though, they’ve also managed to cram in Sony’s Exmor camera technology which mean it will be up and running in 1.5 seconds and can go from pic to pic in two seconds.</p>
<p>The only downside we can see with the phone it’s the decision to release it with Android Gingerbread, which is a little old-hat when Ice Cream should be the only OS on sale for all future Android phone – when will Blackberry learn.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/onlive-desktop.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37797" title="onlive-desktop" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/onlive-desktop.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="456" /></a></p>
<p>Onlive has made quite a splash with its cloud gaming apps and service, but their not content with that, they want to do the same for the desktop apps.</p>
<p>Much to many people’s surprise they were on hand at CES to show of their latest service, Onlive Desktop, for iPad, which will put the power of your desktop in the cloud.</p>
<p>The service allows iPad users (for the time being) to use Microsoft Office suite on their tablets with full touch screen capabilities all through the cloud without having to worry about whether your iPad can handle it or is compatible.</p>
<p>The way it works is simple: harness the power of Onlive’s goliath server farm to do all the heavy lifting at their end whilst you get the benefits of the full version of office on a tablet.</p>
<p>It might seem like a strange thing for Onlive to be doing, but, in theory it’s likely to be a smoother experience for the end-user because you won’t be playing triple-A games and merely doing spreadsheet work or presentations, where a tiny bit of lag wouldn’t ruin the experience.</p>
<p>In fact: it’s the next logical step. The servers and technology are already there and the tasks it will have to perform will be more than manageable.</p>
<p>Better still they’re are planning a premium version, if you signup to the top package with 50GB of server space, you can also surf the web and use their amazing bandwidth speeds and, better still, it also allows for full flash support on an iPad. Amazing.</p>
<p>In Onlive’s short history they’ve never had any downtime, so it’s more than plausible that businesses could actually rely on the service.</p>
<p>The Onlive desktop app works by downloading the app, signing up and boom – you’re away.</p>
<p>When the service is released on iOS this week, Onlive Desktop will be free. With this you get 2GB of storage and access to Microsoft Office. If you aren’t an iPad user, then an Android version of the service is coming soon.</p>

<p>CES is in full swing and today we’ll give you some interesting details on origami laptops, tablets, 4K camcorders and even an Apple rumour.</p>
<p>Right, let’s get this Apple iPad rumour out of the way first. Now, everyone knows that Apple isn’t at CES (or are they?). Well, according to iLounge they’ve seen something interesting from Apple at CES.</p>
<p>The iPad 3. Now before you start the obligatory trolling, let’s just give them a chance. First of all there’s no picture. Ok….. But there’s the testimony of someone who has seen it and works for a reputable publication: iLounge.</p>
<p>Jeremy Horwitz, has been shown what he was a told is the new iPad. What does it looks like? Well, the iPad 2. According to Horwitz, if you had them side-by-side then you’d struggle to tell them apart. The only visual difference was that it’s a tiny bit thicker: 1mm. According the whistleblowers the design changes are more akin to the changes we saw in the iPhone 4 to 4S. Basically none.</p>
<p>The main talking point about the rumour is the screen. Although iLounge didn’t get to see it working (we know) the new iPad has indeed got a Retina display. According to Horwitz and his manufacturing sources they reckon the new tablet will be with us within 2 months under the name iPad 2S or iPad 2HD.</p>
<p>It’s not the first time new tech is shown off behind closed doors, remember the time Reuters saw the iPad 2 at The Daily Launch?</p>
<p>We’d say file this under: just maybe.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/jvc_GY-HMQ10_2-580x428.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37746" title="jvc_GY-HMQ10_2-580x428" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/jvc_GY-HMQ10_2-580x428.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="428" /></a></p>
<p>Now, for the tech announcements that actually did happen &#8211; remember the 4K screen’s that we’ve been talking about over the last week or so. Well, we made a caveat that we’d be interested to know what content they’d show off on these new TV’s as we weren’t aware of any film footage in this mind-bogglingly high resolution.</p>
<p>Well, that’s not true: JVC has announced a new camcorder, called GY-HMQ10, which offers recording at 3840&#215;2160 at 24 or 50p. Even more exciting is the fairly reasonable £4340 price tag and the promised UK release of March. This is a professional offering and is sure to future proof yourself for an expected move to 4K content in the next 18-24 months.</p>
<p>For the technical of you, the new camera is powered by HVC’s Falconbrid large-scale integration (LSI) chip, which has a half-inch CMOS imager with an impressive 8.3 million active pixels.</p>
<p>Product manager, Gustav Emrich. &#8220;We&#8217;re witnessing the birth of what is destined to become a broad market for full 4K end-to-end production. The GY-HMQ10 is a breakthrough product that opens up 4K imaging to users who previously wouldn&#8217;t have considered it.&#8221;</p>
<p>JVC explains that the big problem with 4K for video is processing power, but that this is now shifting.</p>
<p>&#8220;There just hasn&#8217;t been the ability to capture, process, display and record full 4K images in real time until now,&#8221; adds JVC.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/00-Lenovo-IdeaPad-YOGA.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37747" title="00-Lenovo-IdeaPad-YOGA" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/00-Lenovo-IdeaPad-YOGA.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="402" /></a></p>
<p>Lenovo has been incredibly busy at this year’s CES with plenty of smart TV’s and laptops, but, the device that caught our eye is their up-and-coming IdeaPad Yoga. Admittedly it&#8217;s not the greatest name, but, just look at it.</p>
<p>It’s a Windows 8 laptop than can also double up as a tablet in a similar vein as Asus’ Transformer, which saw impressive reviews and sales last year.</p>
<p>The current trend of latops sharing design cues from tablets is something we’ll see a lot of in 2012. So expect everything to get thinner and lighter. Essentially Yoga is an Ultrabook laptop that’s as gorgeous as a MacBook Air, but also doubles as a impressive tablet.</p>
<p>The hybrid laptop comes with a 13.3-inch screen and has 10-finger touch capabilities. Although, we fear that it might just be to heavy to use as an every-day tablet as it weighs twice as much as an iPad 2.</p>
<p>Lenovo expects the IdeaPad Yoga to ship when Windows 8 is available commercially, which should be in the third or fourth quarter of this year. The company expects the device to run for less than $1,200.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/Razor-tablet-specs-shows-iPad-how-to-do-gaming.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37748" title="Razor-tablet-specs-shows-iPad-how-to-do-gaming" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/Razor-tablet-specs-shows-iPad-how-to-do-gaming.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="314" /></a></p>
<p>Razer’s newly announced prototype tablet is getting a lot of coverage and when you first set your eye’s on it you can see why.</p>
<p>Gaming on tablets can be cumbersome and fiddly. Anyone who has played GTA3 on iPad or Android will testify to this. At the moment Apple isn’t making any plans to make a games controller for their tablet, so it’s up to companies like Razer to show them where there are going wrong.</p>
<p>Hydra controllers connected up to a PC gaming tablet certainly appeals to us – especially with some impressive suggested specs. They&#8217;ve included an impressive workhorse in the form of a Intel Core i7 processor, and a 1280&#215;800 display. Now you&#8217;d look quite the wholly if you popped this out on your daily commute to work. But gaming on tablets is big business, Angry Birds is proof of this, but so far we&#8217;re yet to see a hardcore game really find a home on tablets &#8211; could this be the answer?</p>
<p>There are also magnetometer and accelerometers thrown in to take advantage of its mobility.</p>
<p>&#8220;Adapted from a full featured PC gamepad, Project Fiona&#8217;s integrated dual controllers coupled with its advanced multi-touch screen are designed to make complex game navigation ergonomic and intuitive without compromising on the portability of the tablet,&#8221; states Razer.</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ll be able to carry out headshots and command troops in-game with ease. This first-of-its-kind PC gaming tablet with integrated dual controllers is definitely not for playing casual games about unhappy birds or zombie-killing flora.&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s only a prototype, but it&#8217;s good see companies trying to marry tablets and gaming in a perfect match for each other without have to dumb down today&#8217;s complex triple-A titles.</p>
<p>More CES news tomorrow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/CES.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37707" title="CES" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/CES.png" alt="" width="580" height="435" /></a></p>
<p>We&#8217;re back with our second installment of our top tech predictions for CES 2012. In this part we will be looking at computing, tablets and mobiles. We&#8217;ll cover everything from what Microsoft has planned for Windows 8, Intel-powered Ultrabooks and everything you should expect when it comes to mobile phones and tablets.</p>
<p><strong>Home Computing </strong></p>
<p>Xbox 720 aside Microsoft is expected to the have more details on its new Windows 8 operating system at CES. Steve Ballmer is expected to give an opening keynote speech where he is expected to show off the tablet-friendly OS.</p>
<p>So far the tech world has only seen a developer preview of the new OS, with a beta expected to the ready for February &#8211; so it’s expected that Ballmer &amp; Co will take to the stage for the last time and announce the exact date of the beta. So keep your eye&#8217;s peeled.</p>
<p>Other computer related news expected from Microsoft is their decision to start supporting ARM processors with Windows 8. We&#8217;re not whether they will support both desktops and tablet architecture with Arm. But, it could be that we&#8217;ll see some Windows tablets in the future with ARM processors and more traditional desktops and laptops sticking to tried and tested Intel power plants.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/LG_Ultrabook_Z330_02-580x434.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37708" title="LG_Ultrabook_Z330_02-580x434" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/LG_Ultrabook_Z330_02-580x434.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="434" /></a>Intel</strong></p>
<p>Intel Chief Paul Otellini is set to deliver one of the keynotes at CES, and is expected to show off some new Ivy Bridge hardware, which should be in the form of Ultrabooks, although Ivy Bridge, the follow-up to Sandy bridge, isn’t expected until later 2012.</p>
<p>Graphics cards-wise AMD is likely to be on hand at CES to show off their new Southern Island, 28nm graphics card, which are expect to hit retail stores by Q1 2012. Nvidia is also expected to show off their 28nm cards too, but it’s not know whether the Kepler architecture cards will be shown on the show floor or behind closed doors.</p>
<p>One of the main draws for many at CES will be: Ultrabooks. This is because Intel is throwing a lot of money at the manufacturers to make a line of laptops that will reinvigorate the ailing laptop market. Over the last 3 years we&#8217;ve seen an explosion of Netbooks, then Tablets and Intel now hopes the consumers will jump on board their ultra-thin Intel-powered laptops. They are essentially MacBook Air’s, but, running Windows. From what we’ve seen of Ultrabook they do make Windows laptops cool, but with a hefty price tag and increased competition from tablets they might be too expensive for hard-up consumers to stomach.</p>
<p><strong>Mobile Technology</strong></p>
<p>The Mobile industry tends to make its announcements at the MWC in Barcelona, but with such a competitive marketplace many companies are likely to steal a march and get some of their announcements out before the rest of the competition. Tablets will also be big business at CES, with many manufacturers making the switch from dual-core Tegra chipsets to the new Tegra quad-core chipsets.</p>
<p><strong>HTC</strong></p>
<p>HTC has yet to give a UK release for their Jetstream tablet &#8211; so we&#8217;re not expecting that tablet but something entirely new &#8211; known as the HTC Quattro. It&#8217;s the usual 10-inch tablet that we&#8217;ve seen so many times over the last 12 months. For us, it&#8217;s not the hardware that is keeping Google from competing with Apple, but the fragmentation of the Android OS &#8211; especially the app marketplace &#8211; which is way off the quality and reliability of Apple&#8217;s own app store.</p>
<p>HTC will no doubt have several mobiles on the show floor at CES, but, they tend to make their products for different markets &#8211; so many of the new handset may well be US-only for the time being. But you should expect details on the HTC Edge, HTC Ville and possibly some quad-core phones too.</p>
<p><strong>Acer</strong></p>
<p>Acer is expected  to show off a new tablet, which will hopefully be a bit more exciting than the rather drab Iconica A500. This time around they&#8217;re hoping that the A700 might grab some positive headlines &#8211; especially as it&#8217;s thought to come with a 1080p resolution screen.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/94d9631c4066_galaxy-s-iii-evolution-550x412.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37709" title="94|d9631c|4066_galaxy-s-iii-evolution-550x412" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/94d9631c4066_galaxy-s-iii-evolution-550x412.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="434" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Samsung</strong></p>
<p>Samsung is expected to show off the follow-up to the Galaxy S2, it&#8217;s been the at the centre of plenty rumour-mongering &#8211; so it&#8217;s highly likely that they could unveil it at CES and once again grab a decent head start over Apple and the iPhone. It&#8217;s expected to be dramatically different from the previous version as Samsung wants to move it away from the iPhone and avoid any further legal action.</p>
<p><strong>LG </strong></p>
<p>LG is expected to show off a new Android 4.0 mobile called the Optimus U1, which could be worth keep an eye out for, especially if they managed to get it out to retailers with Ice Cream Sandwich in toe before the competition.</p>
<p><strong>Sony Ericsson</strong></p>
<p>Sony Ericsson might use CES to the finally officially unveil the Xperia Arc HD, which has been the subject of many leaks recently. It&#8217;s expected to come with a 4.3-inch LCD display, with an impressive 1280&#215;720 resolution, a matte finish and for the first time the Arc will have the power to match its looks. The current Arc only has a single core, which by todays standards is like a pocket calculator.</p>
<p>Sony will want to make a splash at CES, they are in the process of buying the mobile company outright, so a good showing at the show would allay any fears from nervous shareholders and investors.</p>
<p><strong>Nokia</strong></p>
<p>Nokia is expected to unveil its next Windows Phone at a Window Phone-themed press conference, there&#8217;s no word on whether the reported Lumia 900 will make it to the UK, but the phone is expected to come with a 4.3-inch AMOLED screen, better battery life and their fantastic Carl Zeiss 8 megapixel camera.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll be reporting all the latest news from CES &#8211; so stay tuned from the 9-13 of January.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PC shipments have been under pressure for quite some time and though the industry is trying to innovate in the form of netbooks and<a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/laptop1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-31809" title="laptop" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/laptop1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a> ultrabooks, the stats are not improving much. The industry pundits are expecting e01e to be another tepid year for PCs.</p>
<p>According to Barclays Capital, the industry is likely to see mild to no growth during the coming year. The firm had earlier predicted the segment to grow by 5.1 percent, but later heavily trimmed the forecast down to 0.8 percent. The biggest threat to PC market comes from smartphones and tablets. These gadgets are gaining acceptance in the mass market and are eating away PC’s market share.</p>
<p>The PC industry is also grappling with parts shortage problem. Currently, it is facing shortage of hard drives and the problem is likely to continue through the first half of next year. The problem has been exacerbated by recent flooding in Thailand, which has disrupted various manufacturing operations. Barclays Capital has also blamed sluggish economic scenario for lax demand. As global economy is not showing any signs of picking up any time soon, the PC demand is also likely to remain damp in the new year.</p>
<p>Barclays is not the only firm to revise its PC shipment estimates downward. Earlier, IDC had revised its forecast from 5.1 percent to the range of 2.2 percent and 3.4 percent.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/37380/gaj-its-top-tech-predictions-for-2012-part-1">We&#8217;ve already given you our first five tech predictions of what we&#8217;re most looking forward to in 2012</a>, including Amazon&#8217;s Kindle Fire, Nintendo&#8217;s follow-up to the Wii, the Wii U, Asus&#8217;s quad-core Prime Tablet, Windows 8 tablets and the iPad 3. Well, now it&#8217;s time for part 2, which includes gaming, phones, and TV&#8217;s.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/vita-playstation.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37419" title="vita-playstation" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/vita-playstation.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="274" /></a></p>
<p><strong>6. PlayStation Vita</strong></p>
<p>The Playstation Vita is a beast of a system and is jam-packed with tech and features that firmly brings it into the realm of a device that can satisfy your every mobile need: gaming, entertainment and communication.</p>
<p>The system includes both front and rear-facing cameras, it features head tracking and facial recognition, a gyroscopic sensor and accelerometer, a microphone, a 5-inch OLED touch-screen and a rear-mounted touch-pad.</p>
<p>With a powerful processor and plenty of memory, the PS Vita promises a much more impressive gaming experience compared to its predecessor the PlayStation Portable. Despite its impressive technology, pricing – while at the premium end of the market – is reasonable, with ShopTo.Net putting the RRP at £229.99.</p>
<p>Vita is releasing in Japan this month, so there is a possibility of getting one on import before Santa Claus climbs down your chimney - it is likely to be plagued with shortages as it is the only new gaming device to be released this Christmas.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/small_ASUS-Padphone-front_back.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37420" title="small_ASUS-Padphone-front_back" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/small_ASUS-Padphone-front_back.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="506" /></a></p>
<p><strong>7. Asus Padfone</strong></p>
<p>The Asus Padfone is either going to be a massive success or a bit of a damp squib, essentially it&#8217;s a giant smartphone that can then be slotted into another device to make a fully fledged tablet. When it was announced it raised quite a few eyebrows. But with the new Tegra 3 processor as well as Ice Cream Sandwich &#8211; it&#8217;s going to try and unify the ground between a phone and tablet.</p>
<p>With a launch planned for Mobile World Congress, we could be about to see the first quad-core phone release, and that&#8217;s really going to shake up the competition.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/wipeout_hd_ps3dmonitor.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37421" title="wipeout_hd_ps3dmonitor" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/wipeout_hd_ps3dmonitor.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="326" /></a></p>
<p><strong>8. Sony PlayStation 3D Display</strong></p>
<p>Sony&#8217;s budget 3D TV has been specifically designed to be used with a Playstation 3, for less than £400 you get a 3D display capable of 1080p output and a pair of 3D glasses.</p>
<p>The monitor is on sale in the US, with a European release date expected in early 2012. If it&#8217;s successful, it could be the TV that takes 3D to to the mass market.. The set has been designed for those of you who want a device in a bedroom or snug, and don&#8217;t want to spend thousands to enjoy the plethora 3D content now available.</p>
<p>Sony’s new TV does have one particularly impressive party piece &#8211; it will allow users to play games with split screen action but each user will see a full screen instead of half &#8211; we&#8217;re not sure whether it will only work with the glasses, but the the idea and tech is very clever indeed.</p>
<p>Included in the price will be a pair of 3D active shutter glasses, 6ft HDMI cable and a copy of Resistance 3, for a price of $499. Sony have also pointed out that the new glasses can be purchased for $69.99 and will work on their different 3D TV’s.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/Android_4.0Nexus.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37422" title="Android_4.0Nexus" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/Android_4.0Nexus.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="503" /></a></p>
<p><strong>9. Android 4.0 tablets</strong></p>
<p>You might wonder what Android 4.0 actually brings that Android 3.2 doesn&#8217;t offer now, but the answer isn&#8217;t as simple as a list of better features. In our Android 4.0 review, we found that the big steps forward is in the little things. It&#8217;s much more streamlined, and more easy to use, and that&#8217;s vital for making it seem as appealing as the iPad to those who don&#8217;t care about hardware specs.</p>
<p>But more than that, we want to see what it inspires in the tablet manufacturers. We see all sorts of different app choices, custom widgets, hardware differences and philosophies from the different companies making Android tablets, and we can&#8217;t wait to see what Ice Cream Sandwich brings out of them.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/iphone-5-Hologram.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37426" title="iphone-5-Hologram" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/iphone-5-Hologram.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="348" /></a></p>
<p><strong>10. iPhone 5</strong></p>
<p>Apparently the last project Steve Jobs personally work on before his untimely death was the iPhone 5 &#8211; after the disappointing upgrades we saw in the iPhone 4S &#8211; everyone expects the new iPhone 5 will be massively different.</p>
<p>Unlike the iPhone 4S, it&#8217;ll be a completely new design from what has gone before, so that means an entirely new casing.</p>
<p>Interestingly, someone who claimed to have seen a larger-screened iPhone 5 prototype said in November 2011 that Steve Jobs canned the new handset and opted for the iPhone 4S because of the larger screen size of the new device. According to Business Insider, it was feared that a new size would create a two-tier iPhone ecosystem.</p>
<p>Based on the roadmap of mobile chip design specialist ARM (of which Apple is a licensee), we&#8217;ll see a quad-core processor debut in the iPhone 5 &#8211; probably called the Apple A6. We know that we&#8217;ll see other quad core handsets debut in 2012, so it&#8217;s not too much of a stretch to say that the iPhone 5 will be the same.</p>
<p>Other rumours suggesting the Apple will finally make a handset compatible with 4G and NFC have also been rumoured, quite when we&#8217;ll see the iPhone 5 remains unclear, but it&#8217;s likely to shown off in the summer 2012.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While petite netbooks are losing ground, the companies are now focusing on ultrabooks.  As Apple is wont to do, it pioneers the<a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/HP-Folio.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-37106" title="HP Folio" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/HP-Folio.png" alt="" width="130" height="91" /></a> segment with its MacBook Air, but now HP is looking to challenge the hegemony of Apple MacBook Air with the launch of its new Ultrabook lineup. The new ultrabooks are aimed at business and corporate users.</p>
<p>HP Folio 13 comes with 13” screen space and 128 GB solid state drive. The ultrabook is fashionably thin at 18mm and weighs only 3.3 pounds. However, it does not compromise on raw power and has Core i5 processor under its hood. The ultrabook also has 4GB RAM and USB 2.0 and HDMI ports. Its 13” screen is capable of providing 1366 by 768 pixels resolution. Ultrabooks are designed to be energy efficient and thus HP Folio1e is capable of providing up to 9 hours of battery life, which is about as good as efficiency of tablets.</p>
<p>Since HP Folio 13 will be posing direct competition to Apple MacBook Air, it has been suitably priced. The range has base price of $900, 100 dollars cheaper than entry level 11.6 inches MacBook Air offered by Apple. Apple’s mainstream 13.4 MacBook Air range starts from $1300. Thus HP ultrabook has good price point advantage over Apple. However, analysts do not expect MacBook Air to lose much market share.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While HP is currently battling with a number of problems, the company has managed to retain its position as the top dog in PC segment.<a href="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/HP-smartbook.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-15514" title="HP-smartbook" src="http://www.gaj-it.com/wp-content/uploads/HP-smartbook.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="208" /></a> However, Dell is not so lucky and lost its second spot to Lenovo, the giant from Asia. Lenovo is now eyeing to pip HP from its position and the company is now becoming more and more aggressive. The research has been conducted by International Data Corp. and Gartner Inc.</p>
<p>The study also concluded that PCs are maintaining their downward slide. In the third quarter of the year, PC shipments grew by 3.2 percent to reach 91.8 million units figure. The growth rate is well below the projected rate of 5.1 percent growth rate. The decline clearly shows that the people are moving away from PC set up and are more inclined to use their mobile devices for computing purpose. However, if we look at the dismal sales performance shown by the tablets, barring iPad, then it looks like that the major companies are failing in an epic way.</p>
<p>While one giant from Asia is rising, the other one seems to be going in the opposite direction. Acer reported decline in its market share and revenue. Acer had built its position on low-end notebooks, which are losing market in favor of tablets. Dell, on the other hand, is consoling itself by claiming that its profitability and revenue has increased as it is focusing on high-end computing solutions. Since, PC segment is losing its steam, Dell would do itself a favor if it stops patting itself on its back and start concentrating on tablet segment, where it has failed spectacularly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eating lunch at my desk can be a bit of a pain. Ideally I would like to type as well as eat my food at the same time, however instead I get an important email whilst eating a scrumptious sugary donut, what do I do &#8211; leave my donut aside to reply to the email or ignore it? I would like to say I that I would put my donut to away, wash my hands to respond but the world of sticky donuts takes over me.</p>
<p>Well, it looks like this office dilemma could be resolved. All you need is your trusty Mac and this rather fantastic speech recognition called Dragon Dictate. Dragon Dictate for Mac 2.5 allows users to enter text and control their Mac by voice instead of using a keyboard and mouse. Tell your Mac what to do and it obeys your commands!</p>
<p>Now I can see myself making use of this whilst having a sticky moment with my lunchtime pudding, however Dragon Dictate might be put to use in more serious circumstances. Watch the video below as it is shows you the ingenious way Dragon Dictate can be used, leaving your hands free, when literally you have no other option!</p>
<p><script type="text/javascript" src="http://video.unrulymedia.com/wildfire_53212558.js"></script></p>
<p>Love what you see? Well take a look at some of the features we love about Dragon Dictate and the great thing is, is if your not a Mac user then this is also available as a PC version too for <a href="http://lab.marlon.be/nua002/preview">£143.99</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Talk and Text</strong></p>
<p>It has been suggested that Dragon Dictate work three times faster than typing and you can even customise Dragon Dictate for Mac with your own personal vocabulary and formatting preferences.</p>
<p><strong>Talk and Move</strong></p>
<p>If you have an idea but need to get it down quick without worrying about typos and mistakes then Dragon keeps up with users’ minds, instantly transforming ideas into text – with no typos. Also, if you thought you have to be firmly sat at your Mac to use the software then think again as you can stand up, pace and cross the room as you can use your approved wireless headset to dictate whilst moving.</p>
<p>Alternatively you can choose the new Dragon Remote Microphone application which converts your iPhone or iPod touch into a wireless microphone via WiFi.</p>
<p><strong>Talk and Multi-Task</strong></p>
<p>Tell your Mac what to do, like ”Reply to this message” or ”Open Microsoft Word” or “Jump to Google™” to work faster and smarter.  Create voice commands that automate complex workflows on your Mac</p>
