I think digital books was also a huge trend/craze in 2009! I love my Kindle!

ChromeOS will be a game changer next year.

We'll know tomorrow if the nook is a viable competitor. I think readers will make the list next year.

I thought the 3D made the movie, even if it tired my eyes out by the end. I spent the next two days cursing the fact that I can't mentally link with dinosaurs and fly around jungles and s**t.

Who doesn't have 1gb of RAM these days? It's extraordinarily cheap

iPhones will rule the world someday.. 2009 was seriously a great year for us, except for the recession :-(

I've found that most of my textbooks are available for download (search for text/author). Not always the current version, but one close enough for studying. Then you only need to copy the exercises from your purchased textbook if you want to do homework on the go.
