Here are some reasons why you should swerve the present technology and wait for its heavily tipped predecessor – holographic 3D.

Motion Sickness and Eye Strain

Today’s 3D cinemas and TV’s works by tricking your brain. The images your are looking at may look 3D, but in reality they are only two dimensional. By showing each eye a different image, this give you the illusion of 3D on a flat 2D screen. In effect though, your eyes are still focusing on the 2D screen, while your brain fills in the 3D gaps. This can cause eye strain and can make views feel motion sickness and headaches.

Expensive

At the moment, it’s expensive. Going the cinema to watch the latest 3D movies cost twice as much as the standard version.

At home, 3DTV’s cost allot. I recently bought a new LG 60″ plasma. I got the standard 2D version as the 3D on was twice as much! This is a standard price difference across most brands. As 3DTV’s become more popular though, this price difference should come down. Also, the special glasses you have to wear cost between £80-£150 so I you want to watch with family or friends, that’s another large investment.

Lack Of Content

This will obviously change over time, but as of now, you’re stuck with a few 3D Pixar Blu-Ray movies and one (paid) 3D satellite channel which mainly show sports. So unless you are a massive fan of Pixar movies or sports…

You Look Daft Wearing Glasses

Last but no least, apart from looking stupid; many people have been complaining about the weight and fit of their expensive TV “add ons”.

All in all, I am more than happy with my 2D plasma at the moment. It gives me the full home cinema experience and amazing picture quality. Maybe in a couple of years once the manufactures have mastered holographic 3DTV’s I may look again at the options available.

Here is what you need to do to get Quake working on your Nokia n95:

Android Honeycomb Running On Intel CPU's

ARM Architecture Dominance

Up until now, most tablets (and mobile phones) on the market these days use CPU’s based on variations of the ARM architecture like the A5 chip in the new iPad 2 and Nvidia’s Tegra 2 chipset in things like LG’s Optimus Pad and the Motorola Xoom. Intel are desperate to get their foot in the door before it to late!

Good for Tablet Market

Either way, the sooner Intel join the tablet wars, the better. It can only mean good news for the tablet market, encouraging innovation and competition in an already fiercely competitive sector.

Although the iPhone 5 has been scheduled for release this summer, there is still no final word from Apple on the features it will have and there has been speculation that the earthquake and subsequent disasters in Japan may delay this years release. Here is my wish list of features what I like the new iPhone may have.

Better home screen

Android devices allow users to customize their home screens by adding app widgets to any available space. I am also a fan of Androids notification bar at the top of the screen showing email, text, updates excerpts etc. The current iPhone home screen is simple and sleek, but it isn’t very customizable. You can add and remove app icons and folders and move them about, but that’s about it. The home screen has not really changed since the original iPhone was released way back in 2007.

Retina Super AMOLED Display

The iPhone 4 has an excellent hi resolution display but it has one major flaw. Its backlit. The iPhone 4 black levels are woeful with a contrast ratio of 800:1 compared to a 100,000:1 ratio for Nexus S Super AMOLED display. It is especially obvious in low light situations (like the pub) making the screen look grey and washed out. Check out the comparison below.

Also, because its backlit, it uses more power than a Super AMOLED screen and thus drains you precious battery life quicker. There are rumours floating around that Apple have a huge order of Super AMOLED screen from the worlds largest manufacture OLED producer – Samsung. Lets hope we see these displays being used in the new iPhone 5.

Improved camera

The camera in the iPhone 4 was a great improvement over previous iPhone models but as always, there is room foe improvement. Apple are almost 100% sure to implement an 8 megapixel camera developed by Sony in the iPhone 5. They are capitalizing on the fact that consumers are now moving away from digital cameras and prefer devices which have multi-function capabilities such as the iPhone. With this upgrade, they are sure to get more attention from photo savvy individuals.

Faster processing

This feature is 100% sure to be implemented too. Apple has recently acquired PA Semiconductors and has been experimenting on its own processors for device use. Their latest is the A5 dual core processor which is also going in the iPad 2. This upgrade also comes due to strict competition from Motorola, HTC, LG, Samsung and many others that have released dual core smart phones.

These are some of the features I would like to see in any new iPhone 5. Tell me what you think and leave your comments below.

I heard a rumour a couple of months back about a leaked version of tiger Mac OS X x86 floating around on the web. At first I thought what was Apple doing? Had they gone mad! Surely if an x86 version of Mac OS X was made available for retail purchase, know one in their right mind would buy Mac Computers anymore (apart from the die hard Mac fashion fans) as you could spend half the money on PC hardware and just install Mac OS X and there you have it, Half price Macs. Microsoft had better watch out!

Its gotten even better now, with the latest release of Leapard being easly downloadable from one of the many torrent sites to install on your £200 PC.
