The Apple Watch
The Apple Watch will be Apple’s first new product category under CEO Tim Cook. While the company introduced the watch in September, we only got a limited look at all its features. Apple is still working on the device, so expect to get more details when the next versions get released early 2017.
Windows 10 should fix all of Windows 8’s problems
Microsoft gave the world a small preview of the next version of Windows, Windows 10 in autumn.
Windows 10 is designed to work on all devices including smartphones, laptops, desktops, and the Xbox. It can also change its interface depending on what kind of device you’re using thanks to a feature called Continuum.
It’s still in the early stages, but Windows 10 will launch before the end of 2015. Samsung reportedly has big plans for the Galaxy S6

It’s similar to the new version of Office for the iPad and will likely launch around the same time as Windows 10 in 2015. Beats Music will be integrated into iTunes
