2008 Most wanted gadgets

1. iPhone 3G. Like its touch-sensing predecessor that started it all, iPhone is attracting hordes of fanatics. The first iPhone landed in the 2007 Time Gadget of the year and appeared in “Sex and the City”—indicators of its pop-culture caché. The great add-on this year is its 3G power!

2. Samsung Omnia. The god of small things made it a point to make Samsung Omnia the only touchscreen phone with Windows compatibility.

3. Nokia N96. Designed to be Nokia’s 2008 flagship phone, this gadget offers 5MP camera, stabilizer for its MPEG4 format videos and an expandable 16GB memory, among other cool features.

4. Mac Air and Pro. Mac’s slimmest version fits right inside a Manila envelope—a hip, hip creation. The Mac Pro, however, is the bomb—the fastest, strongest and lap-toughest Mac ever with 2.8 GHz processor and 800 MHz DDr2 fully buffered memory, making it the Mac tower of power.

5. Nintendo Wii. As if 3D isn’t enough to define the 21st century’s contribution to gaming, ensuring the virtual extinction of 2D versions of Mario Brothers and his brethren, Nintendo Wii weeds out the wires from its consoles and turns the sofa into the playpen. No wonder Wii is eBay’s hottest find this year.

6. PSP 3000. PSP fans can now make full use of the inset mic for Skype and add a different dimension for multiplayer games. PSP slim shady is about to take a hike once this sleek pocket perk takes over the PSP lovin’ community.

7. Guitar Hero III. Even without David Cook hollering his American Idol-stamped endorsement of this game for X-Box, PS2 and 3, this wireless wunderkind is turning out to be the test of the guitar gods.

8. iPod Touch. This is not your ordinary iPod, but a mini-wonder that allows easy net access and music download anytime and anywhere.

9. Nikon D3x. No action shot can escape Nikon D3x, making sure borrowed memories are captured perfectly in digital form.

10. Optoma Pico PK 101 Pocket Projector. This 4.1-inch pocket projector bagged this year’s Time Gadget of the year for good reason. Watch movies, music videos and everything in-between from your laptop or iPod and transform your space into mini-theater.
