Our favourite gadgets 2008
Here at Skimbit, we love technology. So we decided to pool together our ideas of our favourite gadgets that have been launched this year. Let us know what you think, and please feel free to add your own if you think we are missing any.
Google Chrome
Visit site: http://www.google.com/chrome
- Girl, boy or both?: Both
- Gadget type: Application
- Coolness factor: Quite
- Price: Free
- Would your mother get it?: Not really, she still uses IE6
- Waterproofness?: 100% sweatproof
Had to add Chrome here - Google's new browser is visually appealing, functionally rich, fast and clever. OK, we are a bit concerned about the implications of Google getting too big, but so far they have remained not too evil, so let's hope for the best. It's a shame it isn't ready yet for Mac, but we are sure it is around the corner, so for the first time in a while, us PC people are feeling pretty smug!
