TIME’s 2010 Top 10 Gadgets revealed

Time Magazine came up with a list for pretty much everything that happened throughout the year, but what caught our eye was the top 10 gadgets of 2010. The big winner here was Apple's iPad because, as the magazine puts it, “Apple finally managed to make tablet computing cool”.

It certainly is true, but what we saw as even more important is the growing presence of cell phones in Time's top 10 gadgets list. This time there are three picks - the Samsung Galaxy S, which was the runner-up to Apple's iPad, the Google Nexus One at the fifth place and Apple's iPhone 4 ranking sixth. The inclusion of three phones sets a record in the number of phones mentioned in Time's rankings. The mag included two phones last year and in 2007, and only one in 2008. Now, this fact is noteworthy because it illustrates that phones are becoming/have become the uber-gizmos of today.
