Skaugen said there are about 70 ultrabooks on the market at the moment. Next year, Intel is banking on doubling that number. With next month's release of Microsoft's new Windows 8 operating system, 40 upcoming ultrabooks will be touch-enabled, he said. Going forward, makers of ultrabooks will start to integrate sensors and technologies commonly found in smartphones and tablets, like gyroscopes, accelerometers, GPS, NFC, and 3G and 4G-LTE connectivity, he added.
Hmm, gyroscopes, accelerometers... Now who would produce those?
