Unbeatable's Top 5 Gadgets for 2007

No. 1 - The Apple iPhone

The Apple iPhone is technology at its very best. This amazing touch screen piece of kit has everything you can imagine included with it, so not only is it a mobile phone, but it can surf, email, play your tunes, and tell you when your train is due and so much more. Running on Apple’s computer operating system, the iPhone is available with either 4GB or 8GB of internal flash memory so you will have plenty of space to store at least 1000 tunes (on the 8GB) and even enough for approx. four movies for playback on the mega wide screen that you are plied with. 

 No. 2 - Sony Playstation 3

We have seen the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii that have blown us away with their fantastic games and features, but Sony is about to take the gaming world by storm by introducing the long awaited PS3. With its ability to play Hi-Def Blu-Ray Movies, its Wi-Fi capability and Bluetooth technology for wireless controllers, the PS3 really does take Home Console gaming to another level. PS2 and PS1 games can be played, but unfortunately, the list of PS3 games available for release is not overly impressive, but we are sure this will improve in the near future. It is by far the swankiest console out there and although a bit on the pricy side, you have just got to smash your piggy banks open for this one. (Available March 2007)

No. 3 - LG BH100 HD DVD/Blu-Ray Player

LG is unwrapping the superb BH100 HD DVD/Blu-Ray player that supports the 1080p playback through its HDMI output and carries an amazing feature with the backlit touch sensitive controls that we are so excited to see. 

This HD DVD player may not be the first of its kind, but it is most certainly the first to unite the HD and Blu-Ray formats that absolutely compliment each other and the outcome has got to be worth a look. (Available Spring 2007)

 No. 4 - Windows Vista Ultimate

So has the world gone Vista mad or will it settle for the ever reliable XP? With a massive question mark over the ever so nearly released Windows Vista, many people and businesses are wondering whether they should upgrade to this new software and whether or not they will benefit from it.

Windows Vista will offer many new exciting features including, Windows Mail, Movie Maker, Windows Calendar, Paint (new version), Meeting Space and Games to name a few. All of these applications have been upgraded and improved upon and will surely make computing far easier and quite frankly, more enjoyable. So, we give it a big thumbs up and as of tomorrow, we are sure you will too! (Available January 30th 2007)

 No. 5 - Toshiba Portege R400 Laptop

The Toshiba Portege R400 is the coolest, sleekest laptop that we have clapped our eyes on and believe us, we have seen them all. With 12.1” backlit LED screen that swivels round and lays flat so you have yourself a laptop notebook in the old fashioned sense of the word. Along with stylus you can scribble away, literally, and the intelligent software will recognise your hand writing and transfer it into a Word document. With its wireless capabilities, the Toshiba R400 can connect itself without the added hassle of wires and cables, as long as it is within 1m of the docking station. With up to 2GB of RAM and an 80GB hard drive the R400 is a sound investment at around £1,350. (Available end of Jan)
