It has been an exciting time for technology enthusiasts lately. Two, huge events took place in the same week. One was Apple’s WWDC (Worldwide Developer’s Conference) where Steve Jobs and co. revealed their future plans for iOS (the iPhone and iPad operating system), Lion (the Mac’s operating system) and iCloud (a new service for storing your data online).

The other event was E3, the biggest annual entertainments expo at which all the games developers, publishers and console manufacturers pack into one space and try to wow the press and public with what they’ve been working on. It’s a place for big reveals, immense amounts of hype, and cutting edge tech. I absolutely love it.

The problem (and it’s a nice problem) with having both WWDC and E3 in the same week is that it has taken this long to absorb everything new that was announced. I’ve been watching all the keynotes and trailers, reading up on all the technical info and figuring out what’s hot and what’s not.

So what were the biggest announcements? What’s most likely to shake up the industry in 2011-2012? What is going to end up in the hands of average Joe Punter? I’ll be sharing my opinions in a series of posts over the next few days and weeks…

• iOS5 Top 5 New Features
• More coming soon…

Update: We’re past the point where it’s worth me writing anymore about WWDC and E3. It was some time ago now and the world has long since moved on. I think it’ll be better if I concentrate on my own life/projects here from now on, rather than try to commentate on everything else. That’s what news blogs and social media are for.
