Top 10 Gadgets part 1

1.  Mobile Phones http://www.electroshopworld.com/Sub_product/Cellphone.html

The big news this year? It has to be Apple’s newest fanboy-fodder, the iPhone 4. These were always going to take the world by storm, need I say more? Great OS, great screen and, since they installed the nets at Foxconn, you can buy them secure in the knowledge that less blood is on your hands too!

2.  Tablet

Predictably hot on the heels of the iPhone4 is the iPad. Yeah, I get it, we all want browsing on the go and tablets fulfill that need better than any other gadget. Who wouldn’t like to watch Youtube videos on the train, or check in to FB from the coffee shop?

I have used an iPad and it is a lovely screen. I’m not surprised that they are popping up in everyone’s hands these days. In my opinion they are an unwieldy beast due to their large size. I’m also unsure about how portable they really are.

3.  Memory / Storage http://www.electroshopworld.com/Products/Menu/116.html

2010 has been the year that SSD (solid state drives) have become fairly widespread. They are large drives of solid memory, not spinning hard-drives. Before these, people could get smaller SD cards, but they have a low capacity. SSD’s can hold anywhere up to around perhaps around 120GB. This may sound low, but they are incredibly fast in comparison with traditional HDD’s

4.  Camera

This year we’ve seen professional standard DSLR cameras take quality to the next level, with cameras being released that can get good shots in pretty much any light condition.

It’s not about megapixels, maybe never was! It’s about the camera’s ability to gather in its environment’s light which is all-important for getting good, clear shots.

The Nikon D3S and the Canon 1D Mark IV are the chief perpetrators.

5.  Sports Camera

With the proliferation of X sports and loads of people choosing to start biking as fuel costs rise, it has been unsurprising to see sports cameras, like helmet cams, getting more popular.

This year these sports cameras have started coming out with HD quality recording. This is pretty cool, especially given that you can capture some stunning scenery when mountain-biking etc!

Big name brands like GoPro and Contour are the ones you’ll see on the high street and you’re looking at 720p HD footage minimum, but their price is prohibitive.
