Gadget magazine, T3, has unveiled its sixth annual Hot 100, the “definitive” annual snapshot of the world’s most exciting, trend-setting tech.
Tablets and smartphones make up seven of the top ten, with dual-core processors blazing the way in almost all the devices.
The top ten features the Motorola Xoom and the HTC Flyer duking it out with the iPad 2 and BlackBerry Playbook, while smartphone contenders include the LG Optimus 3D and Samsung Galaxy S II, laying down the gauntlet to Apple’s forthcoming iPhone 5.
Sony’s NGP (No 4) has soundly beaten Nintendo’s 3DS (No11) in the battle of the most coveted gaming handhelds. See the full list now at www.hot100.t3.com
“In terms of innovation and hot new features, the Motorola Atrix ticks all the right boxes,” said Luke Peters, Editor of T3. “We see it as a potential category changer and for that reason deserves to take the number one spot in this year’s Hot 100.”
This year’s list has everything, from premium products with a price tag to match – the £19,800 Leica M9 Titanium camera – to budget-conscious bargains like Griffin’s £15 wristband for the iPod Nano.
There’s even a sprinkling of celebrity glamour in the shape of Lady Gaga’s space-age Polaroid Camera Glasses and 50 Cent’s Sleek Audio headphones.
The Hot 100 is in T3 Magazine issue 189 (out now), T3 iPad edition (download at http://bit.ly/t3ipadapp) and at www.hot100.t3.com.
