What will be the big gifts for this year's holiday season? Smart phones with function and that reflect your personal style, more convergence devices, like PDAs with GPS, notebooks and desktops PCs, cameras and HD-TVs in plasma and LCD and projectors are all predicted to be big sellers over the holidays. Those were some of the devices forecast at a panel on What's Hot for the Holidays at the Digital Life consumer electronics expo that opened today in New York City. The panel members were from companies including HP, AMD and Eastman Kodak, whose products are on exhibit here for the next four days. Dual core processors have gone mainstream noted Patrick Moorehead of Advanced Micro Devices, and quad-core isn't far behind, especially for big gaming fans.
Asked what they wanted for the holidays, Kate Wasserman of UT Starcom wanted a "fashionable phone," and wanted to pick the color; other wish lists included a mainstream HD camcorder and a Slingbox that provided distributed video around the house.
But perhaps Phil Scott of Eastman Kodak put it all in perspective, saying all he wanted was "more time."
