2007 Preview: New Tech Products


The launch of major operating systems, chips, and handheld devices will give consumers plenty of incentives to switch brands

If 2006 was the year of the next-generation gaming console—after all, there were new machines from Sony and Nintendo (and Microsoft's latest Xbox out in late '05)—next year's tech headlines will be dominated by competing operating systems from Microsoft and Apple. Vista, the new iteration of Microsoft's Windows, hits the market for consumers in January, and Apple's upgrade is due soon after that.

Next year will also see the release of new chips, handheld devices, and a machine designed to make the computer a centerpiece of home entertainment. For a look at these and other tech products on tap for '07, click through this slide show.
