An industry wide agreement to phase out VGA completely by 2015, and to standardised solely on HDMI and DisplayPort is being supported by rival processor giants Intel and AMD. VGA is passed its sell by date with HDMI and DisplayPort allowing slimmer designs and supporting higher resolution with deeper colour. It is important that display technology keeps up with the digital rich world we now live in and reinforces this move by Intel and AMD.
 
By moving to the latest digital display interfaces will allow manufacturers to focus investment on new innovations rather having to solve challenges of supporting analog interfaces on their new products and technology.

After many years of false dawns, Near Field Communications (NFC) has finally gained some traction. 2011 has proved to be a year of acceptance for NFC with it slowly but surely becoming more mainstream. Several telecommuncations and financial services companies are working together to promote NFC throughout Europe. Put simply, NFC is a wireless connectivity technology that enables two-way communcation between electronic devices such as the transfer of contact details or credentials. It is also possible to perform contactless transactions, access digital content and connect devices with a single touch or "tap".
