The Best Gadgets of 2010

The year 2010 is closing in and looking back in the last twelve months, there were tons of new products introduced this year. I’ve got my line of favorite gadgets this year but I also like to get my readers opinion which are the best products were introduced in 2010.

From notebooks to cellphones and other tech toys, there’s just too many to choose from and the contenders are pretty competitive too.

Apple introduced a slew of new devices — from the iPhone 4 to the iPad and the latest Macbook Air.

The year 2010 can be considered the year of the Android with HTC, Samsung, Sony-Ericsson and LG bringing in more than a dozen Android smartphones combined.

Tablets also came into the scene with the Galaxy Tab trying to steal the thunder of Apple’s iPad. Archos brought in more affordable models while local brands like Cherry Mobile and RedFox joining the fray. That doesn’t include a host of other China-made iPa-wannabe Android tablets.

In the laptops and netbook category, we’ve also seen dual touch screens like the one from Toshiba’s Libretto. Intel also introduced dual-core Atom processors making netbooks more capable. The big-ass gaming laptops never ceases to amaze too.

There’s also the LED TV and the 3D TVs — pretty expensive but pretty cool too. Digital camera have made their mark too with Canon, Nikon and Panasonic slugging it out.

In the game consoles, I’ll have to hand it over to Kinect. Don’t think there’s anything more fun to play with sine the Nintendo Wii was first introduced.

So let’s put this to a vote. What are the best gadgets that’s been introduced in 2010? Please leave your vote in the comment section below and try to limit your nominations to a maximum of 5 specific models.

    IPHONE 4 maybe on top,.

    it might not be the most innovative, but definitely the leader.. imagine if iOS was not invented, the idea of android would never has been born.

    save for the manufacturer-imposed limitations, it is pretty much the most-balanced device for me. and it can capture one’s heart by it’s simplicity and ease of use, which I think is the most important for a consumer product.

    second would be android phones and tablets for offering almost the same iOS experience for a lesser price.

    and last would be kinect! I wanna have a taste of it soon!!

    P.S. – the Droid 2 Global (sans the blur?!?) – it has not reached our shores yet but the 1.2 GHZ did it for me.

    1. Nexus One – got introduced early part of 2010 which basically pushed the manufacturers to really spec out their phones. (1GHZ baby!)
    2. iPad – so tablets are indeed cool!
    3. Samsung Galaxy S – SAMOLED made it for me.
    4. iPhone/iTouch – for their retina displays.

    Despite me owning a DHD, I think the honors should go to the original HTC Desire-AMOLED. Of course, I’m only talking about phones.

    in no particular order

    1.iDevices (i guess those stuff were on everyone’s christmas wishlist .. damn i wish i had one ! :D)

    3.Samsung Galaxy Tab (it wasn’t able to beat iPad, but still, it grabbed an enormous market share ! the display is superb and so is the experience with it)
    4.DSLRs (2009 was the age of digicams, the first time i saw people using these ultra-big cams made me think they’re stone age people, but the day i had one made me as addicted as any other photography-addicts out there using these babies:D)
    5.All AMOLED/SUPERAMOLED screened phones (their crisp display is just freakin irresistible! cant take my eyes off of those !)

    :) have a nice day ..

    in the game console you think Kinect is the best??? lol Kinect is a joke, if you ask the gaming community. There is just no good enough software to justify a purchase. And if you think it’s innovative then perhaps you have not heard of the ps eye/the eyetoy. kinect and the ps move as of the moment is just not good enough…i give the best gadget in terms of gaming to Rockband 3!

    1. Samsung Galaxy S
    2. iPhone 4

    I heavily use gadgets for multimedia purposes. Sammy’s Galaxy S is the clear winner in this aspect. Not only it has greater storage, but also for its larger screen. The phone significantly weighs lighter than the iPhone 4 and that’s a plus because I don’t want my arms to get tired while watching videos when I’m in a car or I’m on a bed.

    As for the tablets,

    1. iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab – tie

    Tablets are meant for larger UI so iPad is the winner here. However, if portability is more important for you, Galaxy Tab becomes the winner here. That’s why I put them on a tie.

    Hope this link can help.
