With all the technological advancements to look
forward to in 2013, it’s interesting to see which companies have been deemed
“most successful” thus far. Here’s a few
of the “trending” companies we’re watching…
1.
Apple: Even with competition
from Samsung’s Galaxy S III smart phone and Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD tablet,
Apple has still managed to stay on top as one of the most successful tech
companies. With its recent release of the iPhone 5 and iPad mini, Apple continues
to maintain its strong consumer base.
2.
Google: Although its first Nexus smart phone failed to
compete with other similar products, Google is currently awaiting the highly
anticipated release of Google glass and has recently released its first touch-screen
Chromebook. Google glass is an augmented
reality headset essentially allowing users to take pictures, look up
information, and share information with friends via a screen located on the
headset.

3.
Amazon: In addition to its success
as an online retailer, Amazon has joined Apple in the competition for tablets.
With their release of the Kindle Fire HD, which ranked #2 among tablet sales,
Amazon’s cost effective product seems to have given the iPad a run for its
money.
4.
IBM: In 2013, IBM plans to
expand into the mobile market by creating a partnership with AT&T. Reports
also predict extensive growth in emerging global markets.
5.
Microsoft: With the release of
Windows 8 and Windows RT, Microsoft has had incredible success, mainly due to
the distinctly different operating systems and interface. Launching its own
touch screen tablet with PC capabilities, the Microsoft Surface has separated
itself from the iPad. The Microsoft Surface can essentially be used just as a
desktop can, while still maintaining the portability and convenience of a
tablet.

Now that these major companies are
putting new technology out on the market and other companies are competing to
be the best, will these companies be able to remain on top?
