Christmas Most WANTED Gadgetz 2010

Christmas is almost here, and wish lists are being written all over the country. Here's  a list of the top gadgets that Father Christmas will be getting asked for the most this year…


1. Apple IPAD
You guessed it – the iPad is still making waves all over the gadget market. Apple’s first main stream tablet computer was released in April 2010 and became the must have accessory music, games, books, movies and social networking. The iPad uses the same software as featured on the iPhone or iPod touch, so was immediately familiar to the millions of Apple fans worldwide. Apple sold 3 million iPads in the first 80 days of its release, proving that people were going mad for this new piece of technology. The iPad is set to be the most popular gadget on Christmas lists of all ages.

2. Amazon Kindle
 The Amazon Kindle is set to change the way we read forever. The kindle is probably the most popular e-reader on the market, and its affordable. The Kindle is lighter than the average paperback book and can store up to 3500 books on its inbuilt storage system. The Kindle also has built in Wi-Fi, meaning you can browse and buy books whenever and wherever you like. The newest model has 50% better contrast than the last model and has the battery life to last you a whole month. The Kindle will be a welcome addition to your gadgets collection- you’ll probably never visit a book store again!

3. PS3 Move
The Move is the PS3’s attempt to jump on the wireless/motion sensor gaming experience bandwagon. Like the Wii, a wireless controller is how your movement is picked up, thanks to the Playstation Eye camera which tracks your location. Unlike the Wii’s remotes, you can recharge the Move’s controllers without any batteries. The stand out feature of the Move is the graphics of the games that accompany it. High end graphics are used which are said to blow the Wii’s and Kinect’s out of the water.

4. Xbox 360 Kinect
The Kinect is the first games console which allows you to play a game without the need to touch a controller, or the console itself. The technology includes a strip of cameras and sensors, as well as voice regonition which allows you not only be able to control the console without touching it, but you’ll also be able to talk to it. There are thought to be 15 games ready to accompany the Kinect’s release, which looks to be before Christmas.

5. Ipod Touch
The iPod touch is the ultimate, affordable digital media player on the market. Gone are the days when your iPod could only play music- now you can browse the web, watch movies, download apps, read books, talk to your friends through FaceTime, as well as listening to your favourite tunes. As well as having a Wi-Fi connection, the iPod Touch also has 2 cameras facing opposite ways, so one if facing you and the other is facing what you can see, meaning you can change between the two when using FaceTime.

6. Samsung Galaxy S
I was tempted to have the iPhone at number 7 on our countdown, but thought I’d shift my attention to a non-Apple product and go for an Android phone instead. Android is fast becoming the popular choice of phone for Smart phone fans and Samsung have created a big competitor in that arena. To rival the iPhone, the Galaxy S features a 5MP camera, GPS, multi-touch screen, GPS and Wi-Fi, but also features an microSD slot so you can add more memory if needed- something the iPhone doesn’t have. The galaxy also weighs 19 grams less than the iPhone, although it’s slightly bigger in comparison. Samsung has announced that the Galaxy S is the strongest Smart phone on the market, and they could be right.

Weighing just 1 pound, it features a vibrant 7-inch touchscreen display with 3D-like graphics, speedy 1 GHz processor, and the Android 2.2 operating system all in a sleek compact form factor.
This is a really great device. If you have someone on your list that really does want innovative technology than this is the perfect gift to give them this holiday season. Do not wait go ahead and buy one today for that special person in your life. It will make their Christmas that much merrier.
