"The Top Gadgets of 2008"
Wired (December 22, 2008)
"What a year it's been for gadgets. We saw the second coming of the Jesus phone, the toppling of Canon as the premier DSLR maker and the first short wobbly steps of the Android OS. We also saw the fall of the economy, which may or may not have jump-started the rise of the netbook. Hey, we're gadgetheads here, not economists...."
The list goes from their #10, the Herman Miller Embody Chair - a beautifully engineered office chair); through #6 ,Mitsubishi's LaserVue - a pricey television with a cool name; to #1, Netbook: MSI Wind - which is not one of those "underpowered, mediocre plastic boxes."
What impresses me about these gadgets is that I can imagine a reasonable person actually using them: they're far from being geek toys.
