Top gadgets of 2008!

NOKIA 5800 XPRESSMUSIC
Rs 21,839
She’s arrived at last, the 5800 XpressMusic, Nokia’s tardy entry into the touchscreen phone space. Appropriately nicknamed the Tube, the device has a number of Nokia peculiarities that could appeal to certain sensibilities. The LCD itself is certainly impressive, at 640 x 360. Purists will enjoy the dull screen surface, which certainly cuts down on glare. The 3.2 megapixel camera focuses well and takes great pictures in daylight. All of this in addition to things like GPS, WiFi and a side-loading microSD slot (there’s a free 8GB card included). It’s comfortable to hold and use with a single hand, but remember this is no iPhone with full-featured media player apps.
Sony Vaio Z Series
Rs 99,990-1.24 lakh
It is a wonderful feeling to hold this Vaio Z series notebook (VGN-Z12GN/B & VGN-Z 13GN/B) in your hands. The weight makes you feel that earlier you were lugging around bricks called laptops. The keyboard is wonderfully laid out and convenient at the same time. The screen is clear and bright. The processor is Core2 Duo P9500 running at 2.53 GHz and it is fast – it is coupled with DDR3 4GB Ram and has 6MB cache. This supports dual graphics card – native Intel onboard graphics card and Nividia GeForce 9300M GS with 256MB onboard memory and 320GB hard drive. These cards ensure good battery life and be able to play next generation games at basic settings.
HTC Touch Diamond CDMA P3051
Rs 39,900
This CDMA phone combines breakthrough innovation, intuitive usability and exhilarating design.  With 4GB internal memory and a 2.8-inch display that provides near-print quality viewing of photographs and a perfect Web browsing experience, it’s a steal. Plus, there is a 3.2 mega-pixel camera and a three-dimensional touch interface that responds perfectly to finger gestures when scrolling through contacts, browsing the web and launching the media player. Powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, it includes Outlook Mobile, Office Mobile, Windows Live and the capabilities to run thousands of third-party applications.
Ceezay Home Theatre
Rs 21990
This is a beauty. It incorporates Dolby DTS to create a true movie theatre experience. It features a Multi Format Playback along with connectivity options for USBs, Memory cards, Pen drives, I-pods and mobile phones. There is also a high-quality digital karaoke and a separate pre-amplifier for enhanced compatibility controlled by a sleek remote. The 5.1 digital channel output provides a crystal clear digital surround sound environment which can be simulated with DSP modes like Disco, Hall and Live. The package: 8” sub woofer, one three-way centre, two surround speakers and one pre amplifier. Bring home the stars and don’t worry about the traffic outside.
Sony CD Tuner
Rs 9990
Sony’s new MEX-BT3600U CD tuner has it all: USB and Bluetooth and front aux-in interfaces, a quick-search interface that lets you browse your MP3 media and support for hands-free through the car stereo. Either plug in your USB pen drives in the front panel USB port and browse music files via a LCD interface, or enjoy high-quality stereo audio via a Bluetooth compatible Walkman or mobile phone with no connecting wires. The best part? The feature-packed head unit makes hands-free calling safe. Happy driving!
