What to Watch for: Technology – Spring 2010
There are a lot of exciting things coming out in the next few weeks – here are my top 3:
1. Like it? Hate it? The iPad which drew a ton of rumors and speculation is ready to make it’s debut. The 1st commercial aired during the Academy Awards (which explains why Steve Jobs was on the red carpet) and is officially going mainstream. The iPad will be on sale on April 3, 2010 and pre-orders begin March 12, 2010.
Here’s the commercial in case you missed it:
2. Better than the iPhone?! The Google Nexus One phone – the phone that had a lot of buzz when it first came out, is a phone that critics are still wondering if it can compete with the iPhone and other touch-pad type smartphones. Google has never made it a secret that they plan to release it to multiple carriers – just WHEN is the question. This phone is rumored to be coming to Verizon on March 23, 2010.
3. Wonder if I could sneak into this? 
f8 – The Facebook Developer Conference is slated for April 21-22, 2010.
According to the Facebook blog,
“f8 has always been about empowering a community of developers to hack, to build and to delight users. We’re looking forward to continuing this tradition at our third f8 in San Francisco on April 21-22, 2010. Please save the date!”
BONUS: One more thing to add to your calendar this month. Planning on coming to Real Estate Connect SF (#icsf) – Early Bird Registration ends in 11 days! Sign up by 3/19/10 and save over $300!

I bet there will be a lot about Facebook payments and their credit system. This should be a big revenue stream for them.

Love the post. Technology definitely interests our firm and I think it does open up a lot of opportunity to differentiate yourself from the competition. Especially with social media like Facebook.
