And I can’t wait to see what it does in 2011. In the end, OnLive was probably the most promising technology I saw all year. And this year we saw one more step toward that future: A start-up called OnLive launched a platform that lets you play stunning, graphics-intensive video games without a console or an expensive desktop. All of our books, our movies, and our tunes will soon live on servers far away from home, allowing us to read, watch, and listen whenever and wherever we want. This should be the signature tech lesson of 2010: Cross-platform, cloud-based media is the future of all entertainment. Netflix made its movies available everywhere and did really well, too. Amazon made its books available on lots of devices and did really well as a result. Apple’s big hardware innovation in the iPhone 4 was to put the antenna in a spot most susceptible to interference and to cover both the front and back of the phone in glass (because why have one easily breakable surface on a gadget that’s bound to fall out of your hands when two will look so much better in ads?) The iPhone’s software offered no great leaps, either: Apple’s phone will now multitask in the same way that Android already does. The iPhone, meanwhile, remained in place. Instead, it played a great game of catch-up-this year, Android’s user interface and functionality caught up to the iPhone. In 2011, I expect to see many similar, high-quality Android devices.Īndroid, though, achieved these gains without really moving the smartphone bar forward. Last week I wrote that the Nexus S, the new phone designed by Google itself, is the first Android phone that I’d leave my iPhone for.

The big story this year was the ascent of Android: Google’s mobile operating system came out on several great phones, it saw monster growth, and its market share now seems sure to surpass that of the iPhone and the BlackBerry.
