Convergence can refer to previously separate technologies such as voice (and telephony features), data (and productivity applications) and video that now share resources and interact with each other, synergistically creating new efficiencies.
Today, we are surrounded by a multi-level convergent media world where all modes of communication and information are continually reforming to adapt to the enduring demands of technologies, changing the way we create, consume, learn and interact with each other.
Convergence in this instance is defined as the interlinking of computing and other information technologies, media content and communication networks that have arisen as the result of the evolution and popularisation of the Internet as well as the activities, products and services that have emerged in the digital media space."

GPS watch for golfers: Pyxis RGPS-3000 (this is pretty crazy technology! I guess it's better than a compass...Unless you run out of batteries!)

Called Pyxis RGPS-3000, this GPS watch will allow you to load your favorite golf course on to the device and keep track of your score.

You can add to your collection by downloading music and video wirelessly from the iTunes Store. You can also scroll through songs and playlists with the touch of a finger.

Apple MacBook Air
"The dimensions of the apple air are: 12.8" wide, 8.94" deep, and 0.16" to 0.76" thin and weight: 3.0 lbs (1.36 kg). The entire laptop is only 0.76” thick. That is the base + lcd for less than 2 centimeters. This makes this laptop to be the thinnest laptop in the world today. But the immediate trade off is that there is no CD/DVD drive attached and only one USB port. However, the MacBook Air seems to have a new generation of wireless solutions: 802.11n2 and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR wireless technologies. Remote Disc option allows you to easily access other Mac computers’ DVD drive."
