The Game Changing IT Gadgets of 2013

NOTE: This is my opinion as I witnessed the IT Gadgets development in 2013.

2013 is another year of IT and Gadgets explosion of game changing innovations.  The followings are the list of the items that broke the rules and successfully change the market:

1. Windows 8 and Windows Tablet aka Surface

A tablet that also function as a laptop PC, who would have thought that Microsoft can still be creative in developing new approach on the market.  The answer is Microsoft has years experience in meeting the market demands.  Now, with Windows 8, they will start to change the landscape of portable PC and make things more exiting for consumers.  A laptop that does more touch and better at typing, looks like the-will-be preferable machine for those working with a lot of typing and traveling.

2.  Samsung Galaxy Note 2

The biggest smartphone on the market successfully put Android in the Functional Premium Smartphone Class and responsible for creating a new wave of 5"+ Android phones.  The key success of SGNote2 is only the SPen and unbelievable user freedom in creativity.  Funny thing is for a phone that big (5.5"), it has so many people buying, using, and select few has become fanatics of it.  The giant that beats the smaller and more sophisticatedly designed smartphones.  Did Dell miss something?  The answer is ... sorry, I'm not gonna tell you here.  Check this article instead.

3.  Android Micro PC



This is in early initial development, originally used as Google TV Dongle, and has started to storm the market in China.  A small PC to be connected via HDMI to monitor/TV and it has USB for keyboard/mouse.  MicroSD as additional storage. It runs Android OS.  If PC will be developed to this size, who needs laptops?  Anyone interested in opening new business of Monitor terminals to let this tiny PC connected to it quarter hourly by coin?

Also, for those who doesn't want to buy a new TV that does Internet, buy this and turn your TV into Internet TV, requirement: HDMI capable.

By the way, major brands has started developing similar products.

4.  Self Generating WiFi Portable Storage System

Now, imagine you are doing a group meeting somewhere and needs to share your documents with your team.  Don't tell me about Cloud Storage, since in third world countries there are still locations without the benefit of 3G Internet connectivity.  All you have to do turn on your portable harddisk/storage WiFi and everyone (up to 5 people) can get connected to the files they need.

5. Google Glass

You glasses is your screen.  Imagine that.  Well, this is a game changer and the will be new development of portable computing.  Who needs monitor when you can a screen on your glasses.  Certainly, the person next to you will not be able to peek at your data.

There, the 5 new important development in 2013 that I truly feels as the best innovations that will change the whole market.  What do you think?  Did I miss something?
