Technologizer gave away an Olive 4 yesterday, as part of its Technologizer Predicts 2010 package, in which readers were asked to submit their ideas for what technology might look like in the coming year.
One of those readers, Aaron Neyer, earned himself an Olive 4 by, well, getting chosen at random.
Aaron’s bold predictions concerned Google’s increasing domination across multiple platforms. “Soon they will be producing their own netbooks running Chrome OS,” he writes, adding that the Mountain View-based company could “possibly even create their own (cellular) network, which completely changes the way we think about phones by making it all VOIP, making it much cheaper, but relying more on your 3G, or 4G network.”
Congrats, Aaron. Let us know how you like it.
(We were more invested in the prediction made by a reader named Dan, who said that “2010 will be the year of high quality music downloads and personal media ‘lockers.’ . . . The first shot will be fired by Apple or Amazon, obviously. Apple will begin selling Apple Lossless files and Amazon will begin selling aiff and flac. Actually, if you look at HDTracks and what they are selling, that is along the lines of the options that Amazon will make available. Although, it is possible that eMusic will throw the first punch here and surprise us all by adopting high quality before anyone else.”
We can only hope.
Thanks to Technologizer for running the promotion. And remember: If you’re not Aaron Neyer, order an Olive 4 or Olive 4HD by Dec. 31 and get the 17-disc remastered Beatles set for free!
