Logic dictates that everything evolves in time, but every so often their is a step change in technology and the way we use it. Apple have brought about a revolution in music, they were not the first to give us MP3 and the device to play it on, but they were the first to mass market the MP3 player with such vigour and conviction they created a market and the technological shift that resulted in downloaded music outselling CD's

So what next? Video that's what. Apple and others are looking at replicating their success in MP3 downloads with video downloads and the hardware on which to view creating "video to go".

The challenges are bigger but with the pace of Broadband growth and Disk technology it is merely a matter of time until the extra size of video is removed as a perceived barrier and gadget fans like you and I can download a movie (legally) to watch on your PC and also a portable device. Sure we need to look at digital rights management and agree a format perhaps MPEG4 or WM10 but commercial will shall solve these quandaries for the prize is to control the next leap in the way we consume media.

We laugh now at the sight of someone using a phone box as we all have mobile phones, we are starting to smirk at those who rely on VHS machines when we all have DVD and Sky+, how long before we amuse ourselves with tales of when you actually had to be in a set place at a set time to watch a TV programme or film?

Why can't I watch the next episode of eastenders on the tube the next morning, why can't I watch the new series of the West Wing now as it is available in the states? there aren't good answers and that is spurring consumers like me to demand the service we want.

However the next step in media evolution is in sight the Video Ipod or perhaps a Windows based device backed by Sony, the brand is not the issue, our broadband connection has just been boosted to 2mbits and that's just the start, all the elements that make high resolution video downloads possible are dropping into place.

In a world of instant consumerism we are all very busy doing "things" so when we want to consume media we want it now, not when some scheduler says so or when we can get to the cinema. Since we left the cave having discovered fire changes in technology have always surprised and in the most part delighted, so keep your eyes peeled for the Video Ipod and iTunes movies.

March Highlights

	Braun Tassimo The Braun Tassimo makes it to the Lordpercy.com offices and that connoisseur of the caffeine hit Professor Freshbrew is stirred from his slumber to give us his opinion.
	BT Aviator It may not be quite up to its high flying name but BT's branded DAB radio not only sounds good it acts as a radio style Sky+ allowing listeners to pause live radio, which is pretty cool and it looks smart too.
	Netgear MP115 Want wireless media from your PC in the living room? but don't want a noisy fan laden computer under your telly, perhaps the Netgear MP115 is the answer, if you can get it to work with your firewall!
	Sony Ericsson W800 Time to get hitched? Sony decide to use their global brands in one device, the network walkman joins the smartphone. iTunes on your mobile come on apple you are being left behind!
	Traffic TV Mobile We've been testing Traffic TV a service that allows GPRS or 3G enabled mobiles to get maps of traffic hold ups in real-time. Not quite sure LP really needed to
