Hot sweaty summer days are approaching. The mercury is already touching the 40C mark! And so, you must be prepared with summer gadgets to remain cool this summer. Here are 3 new gadgets that you would want to have badly.
1. Apple iPad
Easily, Apple's most hyped and best-selling product ever is the new iPad. It's popularity can be estimated by the fact that Apple has sold over a million iPads in just 28 days of its 3rd April launch.
The iPad is a gadget placed "between a smartphone and a netbook". With a 9.7" touch-screen, it offers an incredible interface to die for. Though criticized by many for not having a camera or multitasking or Flash support, the App Store offers thousands of Apps to extend it.
Officially, it is not yet available in India, but can be bought from the US itself. However, on eBay and 20north.com, the average price for the 64 GB WiFi version is Rs 43000.
2. LG Infinia 47LE8500
The E8500 series of the LG LCD TVs, produces the best off-angle viewing than many LCDs. The 47" screen offers a 1920x1080 resolution with pretty accurate colors. The LE8500's sleek design includes a flush face and transparent edges around the frame.
With an optional WiFI support, it supports streaming media from Netflix, Vudu and YouTube.
At 99, it's an expensive piece of stylish and feature-rich addition to your pile of gadgets.
3. Apple iMac
The "ultimate all-in-one" is how Apple describes the iMac. (Personal note: Yes, they are right) With a staggering 21.5" and 27" display, and the Intel i5 and i7 Core processors, the iMac offers the best-in-class performance.
The beautiful and starkly designed screen can hold unto 16 GB of memory with unto 1 TB of storage.
The USP of the monster is probably the operating system - Mac. It offers a clean and easy-to-learn and use interface, with claims of being "virus and malware proof".
What's even good is the wireless keyboard and mouse - also called the Magic Mouse. Believe me, you'll simply love the experience of working with that 'tail-less mice'.
In Indian market, the 21.5" model is sold for about Rs. 65000 and the 27" model for Rs 90000 with a bunch of optional upgrades.
So, that's my short list of the gadgets to flaunt this summer. These might be heavy on pocket for many of the Indians, but you pay only for what you get (at least in this case).
