Apple iPad2

The giant from Cupertino is getting itself ready to launch the second generation iPad, improving on the criticisms faced over the first. iPad is rumoured to sport a Retina Display, two Cameras, Facetime support and a refurbished operating system, iOS5. The addition of a USB port is also on the cards, sources reveal. While many have got their iPads this year, the iPad2 will just make things better, rising itself to higher standards.

Acer's Dual Screen Laptop

Acer Iconia's got two 14" displays [supporting Multitouch] and is powered by an Intel Core i5 processor and 4 Gigs of RAM. The second touchscren display turns into an on-screen keyboard with a simple gesture, placing both your hands on it. Along with the technology Acer has packed in it, we get a 750GB of storage and a USB 3.0 port on it.

Notion Ink Adam

Yeh hamaara hai. Rohan Shravan's Notion Ink, headquartered at Bengaluru has come up with Adam, a 10 inch tablet which runs the EDEN UI built over Google's Android. With a swiveling camera, it's powered by a dual-core nVIDIA Tegra chip along with 3G, Wifi and MicroSD card support. Pre-orders have already begun and the top-end model sold out within a day, evoking a lot of buzz worldwide!

Google Chrome OS/Netbooks

Google's Chromium Operating System will be commercially available soon, probably installed on their own netbooks they might be marketing. Simple browser-based OS is what Google's planned and it will fully be cloud based, with each program opening in a tab within. It automatically updates itself to the latest software available everytime you turn it on and they boot in less than 10 seconds. Your desktop is your Google Chrome homepage, makes more sense now?

Nintendo 3DS

While Pokemons and Gameboys are still among kids' favourites here, Nintendo has come out with a 3D version of the popular dual-screen Nintendo DS. And, you don't need your 3D glasses anymore to play/watch 3D. That's the technology from the Japanese guys this time and it can shoot photos in full 3D and video chat on 3D too! Gotta catch 'em all in 3D this time, ain't we?

Amazon Kindle Colour

Amazon's Kindle is so far the best reading device available and it's simple UI keeps its readers focussed on what they're reading at the moment. Daily newspapers or books, they'll do better in colour. Amazon is working on a more feature packed version of the Kindle and it is rumoured to support 4G as well. Quite an addition to the world's favourite reading device.
