1) Android: HTC G1 phone has lot of disadvantages if you look on some other solutions, but the most important news that we got with this phone is the free mobile operating system from Google- Android. The HTC G1 is only the first of many phones that will use it in the near future. As it looks, the Android has high potential to take the cell phone industry to very intersting place where large developer community will support it growing.

2) USB 3.0: The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is very popular standard for transferring data from PC to many kind of devices and charging PDAs/Phones. These days there was major update in the standard, which will get 10 times faster rate than the current USB 2.0 (4.8 gigabits per second). Another improvement will increase the amount of electrical current that USB cable will deliver ( 900 milliamps instead of 100 milliamps), and this will allow more devices to be charged faster.

3) Video-Capable SLRs: This year the camera industry overcome major limitation that prevent high-end single-lens reflex cameras to shoot video. Two new cameras Nikin D90 and Canon 5D Mark II shoot HD video and capture top notch still images.
