Wouldn't be surprised if the cloud based OS becomes more prominnent. You dont need to preach to me about the dangers of having everything cloud based....but it wont stop them from buidling it.

Hasn't Google already dipped it's toe in this particular pond?

Gott a say I find the battery life really good. It's been about 3 months since I last changed the keyboard batteries - the mouse probably gets changed every month though (I always forget to switch it off).

I bought the Apple rechargeable batteries when I got my iMac, but suppose it will depend on usage.

Sony Eneloops are brilliant and much, much cheaper.

A few key bits of development going on in industry now will mean tech items will be 50% smaller than they currently are, 50% lighter and 50% cheaper and easier to make.
These are conservative figures.....
I know naturally things get smaller and better, but what is being developed is a complete re think on how we currently do it.
You will be able to make your own Iphone Ipad type gadgets at home on the PC in the next 10 years........

Doubt it. Lighter and cheaper to make yes, smaller....Not too sure. If you look at the mobile phone timeline they started off big, then got smaller and smaller and in the early-mid 2000's the "cool" phones were the ones that were tiny and light, but now the cool phones are the likes of Iphone 4s, HTC Incredible, Desire HD, Galaxy S2 etc. Compare them to phones of 10 years ago and yes they're thinner but they're a lot bigger.
