Along with the anticipation brewing for the upcoming 2010 year, technology is yet again taking front seat in new things to come. The following is a list of emerging advancements bound to be on your wish list this holiday season.
1. Targus 4-Port Smart USB Hub: Considering the frequent use of USB’s nowadays, the Targus can come much in handy for students, as it contains an adaptor that houses not one, not three, but five accessible ports in a laptop or computer. At a relatively cheap price, it will undoubtedly make for faster and multiple connections. Price: $29.99
2. MacBook: If looks could kill, the new 13-in. MacBook would be on trial for homicide with its newly adapted polycarbonate shell of style. My friend has one and swears by its speed and of course the coveted “picture booth” application. Although a tad expensive, consider it a long-term investment through college and such. Price: $999
3. Beats Solo: Ever on a plane and yearn to tune out the overpowering rumble of the engine? Well, Beats Solo, a studio massive set of earphones just might be your answer. Beats Solo also comes with a built in hi-fi and is weightless enough to spare the wearer from the ever-dreaded headache after blasting beats. Price: $199.95
