Last December, most tech journalists rounded off 2012 with the prediction that 2013 would blow the socks off anything that 2012 had to offer. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is put and selling millions, the HTC One has made serious waves, BB has the Z10 and the Q10, Microsoft has announced the Xbox One, Google Glass has intrigued the world, the Basis Band is out to rave reviews and the world of personal trackers is on fire! Do we have much left for 2013? Actually we've just scratched the tip of the iceberg. Here's how the rest of 2013 will look like.
SCANADU SCOUT
| Place it on your forehead to get an immediate analysis of your body |
The Star Trek tricorder comes alive to the bridge the link between techno and health. Place it on your forehead and it gives you immediate analysis of your body; all the stuff a doctor does. It measures your temperature, blood oxygenation, stress level, gives you a medical-grade electrocardiogram (ECG) and BP reading, and gives you a full blown urine analysis (with an add-on kit). This disc-like device could predict you're coming down with something before it happens.
COOL LEAF TOUCHSCREEN KEYBOARD
| A step forward, but typing on it is still awkward |
Almost everyone seems to think that this seductive looking device is the next big thing. What's not to like? It's flat, shiny, touchscreen keyboard , very light with beautiful backlighting modes. The only problem: typing sucks like it does on all touchscreen devices. With no tactile feedback, this is like drumming your fingers against the your table - never a good sensation.
LOOXIE LX2 WEARABLE VIDEO CAM
 |
| It's a camera for your ears and you wear it like a Bluetooth headset |
It's camera for your ears and you wear it like a Bluetooth headset. It streams EarCamlevel video right to your phone (iOS or Android), has internal memory and can also upload directly to the web. It's a hybrid of Google Glass, Sports Action-capturing cams, and a plain weird accessory.
Blackberry Q5
 |
| This is a nice looking device, thin, hip and easy on the pocket |
The BB 10 phone for the rest of us. After breaking the hearts of all BlackBerry users who don't have Rs. 40,000 of spare change to plonk down for the Z10 or the Q10, the Q5 may well be the tipping point. By the time this economy BB phone is out, BBM will be on all other platforms and the true test of the BB strategy will come into play. Overall this is a nice-looking device. thin, colorful and very hip. Has to be sub-15k to make a difference.
IPAD MINI RETINA
 |
| One of the most awaited device specially for me. |
This one is a given. The real thrust of iPad sales are from Mini. Expect the same body and shell, slightly souped-up specs, more internal storage and a retina screen. On the smaller sized display, that will be a feature to make those on the fence jump right in.
Stay tuned for the II part. ;)
