We are not prophets here, but judging from the shape of things, here are 4 things we think will definitely take place in 2009.
1. PS3 pricing will be reduced
I don't think there's any doubt that PlayStation 3 pricing will be reduced this year. As the costs of building the console continue to fall and Sony's competitors continue to enjoy strong sales thanks to a lower price, the pressure Sony will feel will be too much and it'll be forced to bring the price of its PS3 down to compete more effectively against the Xbox 360 and the Wii.
2. Windows 7 will be released
Vista has been a PR nightmare for Microsoft, vendors are still upset with the product, and businesses are loath to deploy the OS for fear of incompatibility, security, and stability issues.
Realizing that, Microsoft will ramp up the rhetoric in 2009 and start talking more and more about Windows 7.
3. SmartPhones for everyone
Well, these days everyone wants a smarter phone...for browsing, emails, fun games etc. and the phone makers cant seem to go a month without releasing a new model...so my guess is, the prices on some of the phones you see today that make you say WOW! will be considerately reduced....so get ready to see your okada driver using a BlackBerry!
4. Phone Tarrifs will change
Etisalat, MTN, Zain, GLO, VisaFone, Multilinks, Starcomms (to mention a few) are all fighting for our pockets! they have tried everything...we think they will get more aggressive this year by reducing tariffs to woo more consumers into their network
So there you have it: Our technology predictions for 2009. Will they come true? Who knows? But one thing is certain: 2009 will be an exciting year for tech and we hope for you too. Keep coming back to eNowNow this year to continue our discussions about some of the most important topics in this industry.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
