Top Technology Gadgets of 2008

The 3G network which is the core component of the new iPhone is hugely impressive, data exchange and transfer rates are sensationally quick, and software updates to the phone are delivered without fuss or fan-fair. With regard to hardware, the iPhone device itself has changed minimally but impressively since the first release in November 2007 – with enhanced headphone connectivity and a more durable (slightly thicker) chrome chassis. It’s a joy to use in so many ways and slender enough to fit into any pocket or bag. The iPhone also comes with groundbreaking touch screen technology and impressive specifications. Integration with the iTunes store makes it quick and easy to download and install applications, of which there are a few thousand now. It’s not hard to say that the 3G iPhone is a major advancement in mobile communications.
