3. Apple iPhone 4S: At about four
times the US retail price where
customers buy mandatory data-
service plans, the Apple iPhone 4S

young professionals in India. The
final gadget unveiled during Apple
co-founder Steve Jobs' lifetime, the
new iPhone comes with a faster
processor, a better light-sensitive
camera, and voice-activated
assistant 'Siri'.

4. Samsung Galaxy Tab 750 : Also
known as the Samsung Galaxy Tab
10.1, the Tab 750 is seen by Apple
as a real threat to the iPad. The
Galaxy Tab 10.1 inch is an
upgraded version of the 7-inch
introduced in October. The Galaxy
Tab 10.1 runs on Google's newest
Android version and Nvidia's dual
core processor Tegra 2. The Galaxy
Tab 10.1 has a bigger and brighter
screen and weighs less than the
iPad 2. However, it has access to
only about half the applications
Apple users do at more than
200,000 applications compared
with over 425,000 applications
from the Apple App store.

5. Apple iPad 2: The iPad 2
dominated the tablet market
fighting stiff competition from
Samsung and other Android based
devices. The iPad 2 is 33 per cent
thinner and up to 15 percent
lighter than its predecessor, while it
maintains the same 9.7-inch LED-
backlit LCD screen. The
dramatically faster iPad 2 boasts a
dual-core A5 "system on a chip"
processor under the hood, which is
good for twice the CPU power and
nine times the graphics
performance of the original while
maintaining the same 10-hour
battery life.

6. Samsung Galaxy Nexus: While there
are several smartphone
manufacturers that use Google's
Android operating system, the Nexus
line is considered the cream of the
crop. The combination of Google's
software and Samsung's hardware
makes the Galaxy Nexus one of the
best candidates to compete with
Apple's latest iPhone. With the latest
version of Android under the hood,
Ice Cream Sandwich, the Galaxy
Nexus is packed with new and
improved features like a massive 4.65-
inch touchscreen and the Android
Beam, which lets you share such
content as a Web page, map or video
between two Android phones by
bringing the backs of the phones close
together.

7. Kindle Fire: Billed as the common
man's tablet, Amazon's Kindle Fire
has taken on technology giants
Apple and Samsung in the tablet
war as the largest Internet retailer
revealed that it is selling more than
one million Kindle devices a week.
What Amazon did best was not to
rush an iPad clone in the market
but to play on iPad's weakness.
What makes the Kindle fire
standout is its 7" screen size,
affordable price, unlimited cloud
storage, nonstop steaming and
Amazon's wealth of resources right
at its fingertips.

9. Samsung Galaxy Note: Phone?
Tablet? It's a Galaxy note says the
tagline of the newest member of its
Galaxy lineup of smartphones and
tablets. The Galaxy Note is
nominally a smartphone, albeit with
a massive 5.3 inch HD Super
AMOLED display. The Note worked
on the weakness of the Dell Streak 5
and came out with a winning device,
that has a 1.4GHz dual-core
processor with 1GB of RAM and
16GB or 32GB of built in storage. It
also comes with a stylus pen, which
allows users to operate the
touchscreen with increased precision
and convenience.

10. MacBook Air 13": The new
MacBook Air is not quite as light
as a feather, but it' s pretty darn
close. Apple's MacBook Air began
the anorexic laptop trend but the
MacBook Air 13" take it to
another level. The 13-inch
MacBook Air has the latest Intel
CPU and outperforms its
predecessor in key ways. The
notebook is also more versatile
and can now be used for more
mainstream function unlike the
MacBook Air 11".
