Everything's connected nowadays. Every gadget hooks up to your PC or Mac, you can connect digital cameras and mobile phones to your telly, and web cams work with your PS3 console. But what about wireless connectivity?
I've already talked about Bluetooth music in this Tech Trends series, but Wi-Fi MP3 players are another important trend. Actually, it's broader than that – we should really talk about personal media players (PMPs) when referring to the devices that are getting Wi-Fi'd up, as it's as much about video and photos as it is music.Whatever you call them, though, the trend is clear: our PMPs are increasingly shipping with connectivity that goes beyond the traditional USB cable.
Over the next six months, we'll see how this affects how we discover and consume content, as well as sharing it with each other. Wi-Fi PMPs aren't, as such, a brand new idea, as anyone with an Archos 704, Sansa Connect or Microsoft Zune will tell you. However, the fact that Wi-Fi could soon become a standard feature in these devices is shown by Archos' recent Generation 5 launch, where wireless connectivity was a key feature in all three of the firm's new PMPs, while it's also a big part of iRiver's new PMPs like the W10 and even its new Mickey Mouse player.
So, Wi-Fi is going to be in more PMPs in the months ahead, but what will we use it for? Two things jump out: getting music and video onto the devices (or streaming it to them), and sharing this content with other users. The former is fairly straightforward, since Wi-Fi in a PMP allows it to theoretically connect to music or media stores when you're in range of a network and download stuff. It'll need the billing mechanism to be worked out beforehand (for example, a subscription to a music service like Rhapsody or Slacker).
It's not a stretch to imagine a Wi-Fi iPod that connects to iTunes either. But it's the sharing aspect of Wi-Fi that's most intriguing, particularly at a time when the music and movie industries are grappling with issues around DRM and file-sharing – on the one hand, a past-time for dirty rotten pirates, but on the other a huge opportunity to spread content without spending loads of money on marketing. I've ranted here before about how Microsoft should pay Zune users to share music with each other, and it seems that the company's thoughts are veering in that direction.
The next six months should see the first tentative attempts at making device-to-device file-sharing a reality, without enraging the record labels, broadcasters and movie studios. There's plenty of questions around how it would work (see below), but for the early adopters who'll be snapping up Wi-Fi PMPs as they come out, it'll be an exciting time.

Wire, huh? What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Well, it does keep chickens in their place I suppose, but apart from that, wires are intrinsically rubbish. They get in the way, get tangled up, and when they're white and attached to an iPod, they get you mugged.Thankfully, one of the key Tech trends of 2007 is Bluetooth audio, which does away with wires altogether.
It's a relatively new thing, mind. For years, Bluetooth headsets were just about making voice calls while walking down the street looking like you were ranting away to the voices inside your head.Now, though, thanks to the A2DP Bluetooth profile, music has got in on the wireless act. It's featuring increasingly inside mobile phones, MP3 players and hi-fis, but even if you don't fancy upgrading your existing gadgets, there are converters to help you go wire-free. www.rihey.cc
The next six months will see plenty more mobile phones coming out with A2DP support – in fact, it'll soon become a standard feature in any music-focused phone. What'll be interesting will be to see if more manufacturers bundle Bluetooth headphone/headset combos in with their new handsets. Certainly the likes of Nokia and Sony Ericsson are trumpeting their swish new Bluetooth music gear. More Bluetooth headset manufacturers will catch onto the music wave in the next six months too, which should result in a flood of A2DP-capable headphones, from the expensive to the affordable.Bluetooth will also become a more standard feature in MP3 players, as manufacturers realise that wire-free music is a big selling point. Samsung's YP-T9 is a good example of the kind of player I'm talking about, but Bluetooth is on the roadmap of anyone who's anyone in the MP3 world. Including Apple? Hopefully, yes. Much of the speculation around the company's next-gen iPods concerns whether they'll be widescreen and touchscreen models.
But Bluetooth would also be a welcome feature, even if it does mean doing away with those iconic white earphone wires. In the meantime, more headphones manufacturers will find a way to make the iPodBluetooth-friendly.At a slower pace, Bluetooth technology will make its way into the hi-fi world, with more models coming out following the example set by Philips' BTM 628 and BTM 630 systems and the iSymphony V1BLUEe.
As more people become aware of Bluetooth music, gadgets like the iBluon Bluetooth stereo audio transmitter will become more popular too. Finally, the second half of 2007 will see a shedload of standalone Bluetooth speakers released, following in the footsteps of Samsin's SBS-6600, GEAR4's HouseParty Blu, and Linx's B-Tube.Put simply, in the next six months, Bluetooth is going to increasingly become a standard feature in just about every music product category you can think of. www.rihey.cc best dorpshipping digital product supplier.

Technology companies make money from flogging us technology as often as possible. They don't tend to make money from hugging trees. So when you see a company like Dell announcing plans to become the greenest technology company on Earth, you get a sense of why eco-gadgetry is increasingly seen as a vital business strategy by tech firms.
In Dell's case that involves reducing the carbon intensity of its global operations, planting trees for every notebook and PC it sells. It's also offering free recycling for used Dell kit. Many technology firms are taking measures, and those that aren't are increasingly being held to account by the likes of Greenpeace.
The second half of 2007 will see a lot more publicity around how green (or otherwise) our gadget-makers are. Publications like Greenpeace's Greener Electronics Guide are helping – it ranks PC and mobile manufacturers on how green they are. The latest edition put Lenovo at the top of the list, followed by Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Dell and Samsung. Sony pitches in at 11th spot, while Apple languishes in 14th.
Does this sort of pressure force companies to up their game? It seems so. Lenovo was bottom of Greenpeace's previous edition of the report just four months before, while in early May, Apple came out and announced plans to phase out the most toxic chemicals used to manufacture its products. That hasn't stopped Greenpeace from lobbying to ensure the upcoming iPhone handset is as green as possible though.
What's clear is that in the next six months, us consumers will have far more information on how green our favourite technology firms are (oh, and blogs like Hippyshopper will help too). Businesses will also have access to schemes like the Green Technology Initiative that'll teach them how to reduce carbon emissions from their IT kit, while everyone can learn from info like the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's green tips guide.
So, technology companies see the business benefits of going greener, and there's going to be much more info available for us consumers to assess whether they're actually doing it. What remains to be seen is if that really changes our buying habits – will we resist that tempting 60-inch plasma screen when we find out it hoovers up more electricity than a football stadium? If green gadgetry has a future, it'll be down to us.
