With Christmas looming up and the New Year on the horizon many peoples thoughts may be turning to what 2008 may mean for developments in technology, so here are my 5 finger in the air predictions for the 52 weeks ahead:

• The Octo-Core CPU driven by the need for high powered servers for virtualisation tasks will make its debut
• The Pico-Projector will appear in mobile phones and handheld gaming devices
• Unified Communications will stop being a buzz-term and actually start being useful
• The Budget ‘back to basics’ laptop will appeal to the masses of non-techies driving a change for simplicity in computing devices
• Server OS development companies will rethink the GUI and look for inspiration in their text based roots

No doubt I will be hiding in a corner cringeing come this time next year wondering how on earth I could have been so off the mark with my predictions! So, what are your predictions for technology in 2008?
