Here are the top 30 tech gadgets and technologies I am looking forward to in 2013 or hoping are finally ready for prime time:<\/p>\n

1. Unlocked smartphones that work with 4G. Right now the Nexus 4 is a good attempt but doesnt even work with Verizon. Lets hope the Nexus X (rumored phone) is just that.<\/p>\n

2. Xbox 720<\/p>\n

3. No more DVDs – streaming only<\/p>\n

4. Tablets that are as powerful as computers<\/p>\n

5. Opensource OS (i.e. Android) becomes mainstream for all devices<\/p>\n

6. Free cloud storage for k-16 schools<\/p>\n

7. Opensource online classroom similar to Webex<\/p>\n

8. Skype goes opensource<\/p>\n

9. Google hangout changes its interface and name<\/p>\n

10. Google drive is called google docs again<\/p>\n

11. Online calendars sync flawlessly<\/p>\n

12. No new call of duty game<\/p>\n

13. A good conversion product from flash to html5<\/p>\n

14. A good html5 development tool (ie adobe edge)<\/p>\n

15. Apple to open up their app store or create a business app store. Right now their app store is not developer friendly towards businesses that create apps that apple just denies.<\/p>\n

16. A robot that watches kids and does house work<\/p>\n

17. An invisibility cloak<\/p>\n

18. Real life Halo Armor<\/p>\n

19. A tv that knows what I want to watch and uses voice commands to change the channel<\/p>\n

20. My car, tv, computer, phone, and tablet all synced together<\/p>\n

21. Spotify that works for free on wifi on ipad<\/p>\n

22. A MMORPG and FPS combined in one to make the ultimate video game<\/p>\n

23. Netflix or amazon prime to get all the disney movies on instant play<\/p>\n

24. Amazon prime to work on apple tv<\/p>\n

25. PHPBB to include good spam protection in their builds<\/p>\n

26. Phone carriers to stop charging the cost of your phone when your contract is up.<\/p>\n

27. A phone carrier that competes with ATT and Verizon that is just as good that lowers prices, not keeps increasing them to make more money<\/p>\n

28. No more cable tv. Let streaming internet take over finally<\/p>\n

29. Video conferencing that allows for holograms instead of 2d\/3d people so its like the person is really there in the room<\/p>\n

30. virtual reality from the 90s that actually works<\/p>\n

31. accessibility plugins<\/a> software for me and my friends!<\/p>\n

Bonus – Hover boards – I have been waiting for these since Back to the Future part II<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
