While many people are waiting until Christmas to receive some of 2010's best gadgets and technology, we're already looking forward to 2011.
1.BlackBerry Playbook
BlackBerry maker RIM has seemed a bit lost for the last couple of years, unsure whether to persevere with the style that always served it well or embrace touchscreens wholly. That quandary continues on its phones, but there's no doubting the focus of the PlayBook tablet.
A brand new operating system, an extremely powerful dual-core processor, all of the usual BlackBerry business features and, perhaps most importantly of all, a real focus on getting third-part developers involved.
The PlayBook is already looking stylish, slick and easy to use. With a carefully crafted tablet operating system and advanced specs, we could be looking at some major competition for the iPad
2. Nintendo 3DS
If 2010 wasn't all about tablets, it was all about 3D. We've seen a huge push on 3D TVs, but some people just aren't on board with having to wear the glasses.
So while everyone else is battling the same problems Nintendo had when it released its first 3D console, the Virtual Boy, the 3DS is getting ready to bring a glasses-free third dimension (other than the regular, real-life one, obviously.
As if simple, comfortable 3D gaming wasn't enough, Nintendo is making sure the 3DS doesn't suffer the same lack of third-party titles the Wii has had (and the N64 had, and the Gamecube, now that we mention it). Some of the biggest names in gaming are already on board, including Metal Gear Solid and two absolutely stunning looking Resident Evil games.
3.LG Star
Add to that the likely inclusion of the shiny new Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS, an eight-megapixel video camera, 1080p video recording a four-inch screen and an HDMI port .....
4. iPad 2
Well, iPad 2 had to be here didn't it? It's not official yet, but the old 'smoke=fire' adage definitely applies when you've got the sheer volume of rumours we're currently hearing about an updated iPad.
5. iPhone 5
Finally, isn't every iPhone user looking forward to the iPhone 5? While the exact release date, specifications and even the form factor are still the subject of speculation (will we see spec bump, 3GS-style, or another full-on redesign?) and there are no hard facts, we've yet to see Apple disappoint with its iPhones. Antennagate aside, that is.
6. ElectroHub wireless charger
While we've seen wireless charging concepts before – specifically the Powermat – but ElectroHub has a slightly better way of doing things. Simply stick the ElectroHub battery replacements into your devices and they'll work with the mat.
"Aha," you're probably thinking. "But my gadget has a non-replaceable battery." Well, then, you'll need some sort of case for making it work. A bit like the Powermat. But still, it's a better concept for getting your gadgets charged easily, and looks to be pretty reasonably priced, too.
7. PSP Phone
Considering that the iPhone is capable of games with graphics at the level of Infinity Blade, gamers must be drooling at the thought of adding buttons to what's already there. Apparently, someone at Sony finally had the same idea.
The PSP Phone looks certain to be released soon, and may be named the Zeus Z1. While we're a little nervous about the possibility of twin trackpads instead of analogue sticks, Sony console fans and phone gamers alike will both be eager to get their hands on this.
