No, it’s not the kitchen sink they’re bringing, but an onboard computer system called Sync that uses Bluetooth to let you dial contacts and numbers by voice, and by using buttons on the steering wheel, let you choose artists and music from iPods and Zunes by voice and listen to SMS text messages read out to you, in addition to other changes Ford has made to recapture the youth segment of the car market.

With the Xbox 360 more than a year old, and with the PS3 and the Wii nipping at its heels, despite xstaticly good Xbox 360 sales over Xmas 2006, it looks as though Microsoft is about to launch an upgraded version of the Xbox 360 with the features we’ve all been asking for.

Back when 12-inch iBooks were available, someone turned a 12-inch iBook into a Tablet, but offered no warranty and you lost use of the keyboard. Now, Other World Computing (OWC) and Axiotron will release the ModBook – a MacBook converted into a Mac Tablet – and it’s launching at Macworld next week!

Next week’s CES sees the forced marriage of the Blu-ray and HD DVD standard through a unified player and a new dual format disc, but it won’t be until much later in 2007 that consumers will truly see any benefit.

A new iPod or two, an iPod phone or two, the iTV, an 8-core Mac Pro, a 12-inch MacBook, the Mac Tablet, an OS X 10.5 demo, new ‘Universal’ software and more… everyone is expecting Apple to release something in just about every category they currently cover. Can Apple really deliver something in each category, and will the press only focus on what wasn’t delivered, instead of what was?

With Google’s Answer service gone, Yahoo’s Answers was the 800lb gorilla in the online answer space, where real users answer questions rather than results from a search engine. Now Amazon has decided to enter the race shortly after Yahoo Answer’s first year anniversary. The question is, can they succeed where Google has failed?
