We are coming up to the end of the year, and it is traditional to look ahead – and hope the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t a train. Next year will bring a number of major changes for three of the biggest players in consumer electronics right now.
For Apple, we are currently speculating, again, that Steve Jobs may leave shortly because of health reasons. This would mean a change for that company in line with his return in 1996, and Apple yanking its presence from MacWorld, while expected, was not a good initial sign. Snow Leopard, the Apple netbook, and a third-generation iPhone are all expected next year.
