Past and Future
Two electronics that came out in 2008 and had a huge impact on the electronics world were the iPhone 
which is an internet-connected multimedia smartphone designed and marketed by Apple Inc. with a flush multi-touch screen and a minimal hardware interface. The device does not have a physical keyboard, so a virtual keyboard is rendered on the touch screen instead. The iPhone functions as a camera phone (including text messaging and visual voicemail), a portable media player (equivalent to an iPod), and Internet client (with email, web browsing, and local Wi-Fi connectivity)
Apple announced the iPhone on January 9, 2007. The announcement was preceded by rumors and speculation that circulated for several months. The iPhone was initially introduced in the United States on June 29, 2007 and has since been introduced worldwide. It was named Time magazine’s “Invention of the Year” in 2007. On July 11, 2008, the iPhone 3G was released and supported faster 3G data speeds and Assisted GPS. With this, it because popular very quickly because it influenced people to buy it because of its many fetures in stead of buying a phone, a gps, or a portable game console separatly.
And there was the ps3 that came out in 2008 as well. 
he PlayStation 3 (officially marketed PLAYSTATION 3, commonly abbreviated PS3) is the third home video game console produced by Sony Computer Entertainment, and the successor to the PlayStation 2 as part of the PlayStation series. The PlayStation 3 competes with Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Nintendo’s Wii as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles.
A major feature that distinguishes the PlayStation 3 from its predecessors is its unified online gaming service, the PlayStation Network, which contrasts with Sony’s former policy of relying on game developers for online play.Other major features of the console include its robust multimedia capabilities, connectivity with the PlayStation Portabl, and its use of a high-definition optical disc format, Blu-ray Disc, as its primary storage medium. The PS3 was also the first Blu-ray 2.0-compliant Blu-ray player on the market.
The PlayStation 3 was first released on November 11, 2006 in Japan,November 17, 2006 in North America, and March 23, 2007 in Europe and Oceania. Two SKUs were available at launch: a basic model with a 20 GB hard drive (HDD), and a premium model with a 60 GB hard drive and several additional features (the 20 GB model was not released in Europe or Oceania). Since then, several revisions have been made to the console’s available models. Like the iphone, it also became popular very quickly because of the history of the ps and ps2 of how it was very succecful of what kind of games they sell.
One product that i think will be significant in 2009 are touch opperated cars. In just a touch of a botton you can start the engin, or by a touch of a touchscreen you can find the closes HnM story around and the closes way to it.
