BE'S top tech for 2012

Known to offer quality customer support and service,  BE is a preferred broadband provider within the UK. Bearing in mind the broadband requirements of its customers, BE has published a few of its predications which are likely to happen in 2012 for not only the broadband services but the way people access the broadband is also changing at a rapid pace. Apart from PCs and Mac, people are moving to tablet PCs and smartphones to access mobile broadband owing to the convenient factor.  With tablets being the current fad for one and all wish to compete with iPad.  If you haven’t opted for one, do stay tuned to look out the upgrades in Tablet PCs which are likely to flood the market as the year progresses. One preferred gadget does seem to be the Kindle Fire which is slowly penetrating across the globe as netbooks have simply vanished from the scene.

These days in order to access digital content we avail it on rent. With major services offered through mainstream platforms, you will be able to get quick, affordable and easy access to it without much ado. For instance Spotify is offered on Facebook while you can access LoveFilm on Xbox 360 and PS3. The Television industry which is absorbing the digital TV revolution is likely to witness better Television sets and services. For instance, with HD TVs, 3D TVs flooding the market, people are waiting for Apple TV to be put on sale which is surely going to change the entire purview of the TV world.

The war between the PC and the MAC will once again get charged up as Microsoft is likely to release Windows 8 which will be compatible with desktop and mobile devices. Already on the scene is the Apple’s Mac OS X Lion which is a mix of OSX and iOS, so as the going gets tough, it’s time to wait and watch for the winner to emerge.

Mobile supremacy does reign after all, but with time, the BlackBerry mobile has been lagging on the scene as Androids and iOS already gaining the lead. But with Windows Phone with open source Web OS likely to enter the scene, who will be the final winner is yet undecided.
As the position for the social media king intensifies with Google + emerging on the scene along with Twitter and Facebook, it has indeed become a much preferred preference for online users who wish to enjoy a visible presence online. But will Google + actually become a hit, is yet again a big question mark.
Changing of the gaming scene with upgrades to PlayStation offered every six years, you do need to hope for a new PlayStation to be made available. But at the same time, with BT introducing OnLive and Steam, the big question is whether PlayStations will still be in vogue?

 With constant upheavals in the communication industry, it does make sense to be alert and in tune with the latest fads which are very much likely to surprise one and all.
