    Even though I won't be getting a notebook until at least 1 year from now, I have been monitoring the notebook market in my free time. :p

    Will there be any significant advances in notebook in the next 1-2 years? I know Santa Rosa is gonna be fairly big, but anything else? Oh and I am not referring to video cards since I will be using the notebook strictly for work. Are they making any better LCDs, memory, hard-drive, or other new technolgies?

    Also same for softwares, after vista, it's obvious that many new softwares will come out right after vista. Photoshop CS3 perhaps? Or flash 10 etc.

    After Santa Rosa, theres that other 'in R&D' processor....and thats for Intel, AMD also has theirs.

    For HD's, there are Flash-state-disk-drives(I forgot what the official name for it is called..), better viewing angles and faster(ms) LCDs are probrably in the works as well.
