The Best of 2004
Here are some of the best consumer electronic products that came out locally in 2004. Believe me, I would love to put more but because of limited space, I could only put in 24 products, and divided them into two categories: consumer products and personal computer peripherals, which is really my favorite category.
You may contest some of my choices but that won’t make them any less great than what they really are right now. So, check if you got yourself the gadgets, gizmos, and devices that made the past year another wonderful year for all techies out there.
And with all the amazing developments that happened this year in consumer technology, I can guaranteed that 2005 will be no different.
Consumer Products:
1) Sony Ericsson P910i: Constantly chosen as the perfect mobile phone for executives, the Sony Ericsson P910i is the only mobile phone you should be using right now.
2) iMac G5: Beauty, elegance and power. What more could you ask for from a desktop computer?
3) Creative Zen: The new Zen brings multimedia appreciation to the next level. This is the next wave in portable digital entertainment.
4) iPod Mini: Beauty, elegance and storage space. What more could you ask for from a portable digital music player.
5) Sony Ericsson S700i: another classic design that brings class to mobile phones. This goes to show that fashion phones should not be just a fad.

8) Nintendo DS: Once again, Nintendo redefines the world of handheld video games. A real hot item in time for Christmas, however, prices are a bit still too steep for the DS; wait a couple of months for the heat to dissipate before you get one.
9) Olympus C-310z: This is probably the best entry-level 3mp digital still camera with a Japanese brand at truly a affordable price.
10) iPAQ H6340: a GSM phone in your PDA? HP provides one in this iPAQ model.
