Best gadget of 2010?

This year has been one the greatest year for inventions since the year the spork was created. Why you ask? Because of great things like the Iphone 4, Ipad and the Twirling Spaghetti Spoon, but one thing that blows them all away is the Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W3 camera. This camera can film not only in 2d but also in "stunning" 3d. The W1 has two lenses, each capturing color images at 10 megapixel resolution and each capable of 3x optical zoom. The LCD display on the back of the camera measures 2.8" diagonal. The W1 is capable of displaying 3D photos and movies that it has already taken. I think this is the gadget of the year because it is taking cameras and how we use them to a whole new level and it doesn't hurt that it is 100$ cheaper than its previous models who Fujifilm would rather not talk about.

Google's own computer?

Google will be releasing a computer mid year 2011. It is called the cr-48 and I quote cnet news that the cr-48 will have great features like "Every Chrome notebook will work with Verizon 3G service. Each user gets 100MB of free data per month for two years. You can also buy different plans, the first starting at a day pass for $9.99. There are no overage charges or cancellation or setup fees.
There are options to have different user IDs on the same machine as well as a guest mode with completely private ("Incognito") browsing.
Your experience with setting up and using Chrome will be the same no matter what machine you're using. Everything is synced through the browser.
They worked hard on tying the browser directly to the hardware for security purposes. There is auto updating, sandboxing at the OS level, and all their data is encrypted by default.
There's also something called Verified Boot. Verified Boot makes sure that the OS is in the read-only firmware of the computer, so no software can modify it. When you boot Chrome OS, it checks to make sure nothing has been modified. Google is calling it 'the most secure consumer operating system that's ever been shipped.'" The cr-48 looks like it will be a top selling computers in years to come. Personally I believe that the cr-48 will sell slow at first because people won't want to give away their macs and pcs for a completely new computing system, but in the future I believe that Google cr-48 and google chrome will become increasingly more popular and will become the best browser-laptop combo in the computing world as well as each individually getting better in their own respective ways.

Verizion's new 4g network is it worth it?

verizon is realeasing its new 4th generation network today December 5, 2010. verizon has boasted that it can go up to 10 times faster than its 3g predecessor. The 4g can go through 5 GB of data in just 32 minutes. Comparable 3g networks that operate at 7.2 Mbps. With great news though comes some bad, The 4g network will cost 50 $ per month for 5 gb and 10 $ for every gb after 5. Even if you do want to get the new 4g verizon has said that 70 percent of the areas that they cover can have the ability to go on the 4g network. Honestly I don't think I know anyone who will be paying 50 dollars sa month for internet on their phone since the 3g is so much cheaper and basically the same thing. I don't think that anyone should buy the 4g unless they find them selves searching the internet on their mobile phone all the time, and even then they have to watch out for going tover the data limit.
