Going by 2011's bare roadmap, 2012 looks magically promising. So, how exactly will this evolution take shape?
AS WE wake up to this sparkling New Year most of us will have already dreamt of resolutions and aspirations for the coming year. You may not know it now almost all of these pursuits will be tech-related. Whether it's a quest to be fitter, to be more organised, to work harder, sit back and relax, party till you drop, make more friends, lose weight or gain some gadgets, gizmos and devices will play a huge role in fulfiling all of this. 2011 has shown us the bare roadmap 2012 will be magical. Here's the best of 2011 and how these will evolve in 2012. Bold Current status in 2011 Italic Hopefully will evolve to in 2012
RAZER BLADE Intel and Razer's very sharp and radical gaming laptop, this is an all powerful beast with incredible features and hardware. It's thin, and hardware. It's thin, it's fast and it's very versatile. All we need is for this to come to India this year at Razor thin prices.
Alternative Acer Iconia
LOGITECH HARMONY 900 Combines 15 remotes, touchscreen and hard buttons, idiot proofs web-based programming, can control IR and RF devices and is based on a hypnotic activity based system. This year's Harmony range should reduce price and bring automatic macros back the rest is already perfect.
Alternative Harmony One
SEAGATE GOFLEX SATELLITE MOBI Any device, including iPads and Android phones, can wirelessly access any content on it; with half a terabyte capacity, it runs 5 ours on battery, you can have 3 different devices streaming movies from it all at the same time. Apps on each OS that actually work plus bump up the storage to 1.5TB.
Alternative Western Digital Cloud Drive
HP TOUCHPAD Great design, fantastic OS dropped even before it could open its eyes. Should be on the list of worst gadgets but its fire sale proved that low pricing can also be a powerful feature. Maybe HP can bring it back permanently as a $199 tablet guaranteed number 1 position.
Alternative None, you can't have an alternative to the TouchPad soap opera.
SONY TX 55 Slim, light, good looking and incorporates most things from the famous NEX line into a point and shoot. A battery that doesn't die on you in the middle of a shoot and a menu system that doesn't needs a rocket science degree to decipher.
Alternative Olympus EPL 2
SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 Got an early start in 2011, powerful as a jet engine, sleek as a razor blade and a screen that made your eyes pop. Still the Android phone to beat after almost a year. The 2012 S3 needs Samsung to think out of the plasticky box, a one piece aluminium body and design elements that make your toe nails curl.
Alternative Motorola Razr
IPHONE 4S If ever there was an incremental device that can make the world go haywire and sell like a fire sale then the might and magic of the iPhone 4S will forever be the case study. The 2012 iPhone 5 should have a totally different form factor, a price in India that doesn't make you weep and at least one jaw dropper new hardware feature.
Alternative iPhone 4
ASUS ULTRABOOK MacBook Air-like thin tablet-like features, full scale key board, great price point. 2012 should have the instant onalways on feature perfected, a body that makes you whistle and a price of $599. Alternative Every company has one ultrabook coming
NEXUS PRIME Google's showcase device, the only one yet with Ice Cream Sandwich from the start, beautiful screen, nice curves in all the right places.
If Samsung won't do it, then Google should force them to get out more colours, more metal and a faster India release plan.
Alternative HTC Sensation
XE NOOK SIMPLE TOUCH 99 bucks, no ads ever and works at blazing speeds. This is the e-reader of the year, not the Kindle 4. This year should see a price drop to $49 and then eventually move to free with a yearly commitment to buy books.
Alternative Sony Reader
ASUS TRANSFORMER PRIME Tegra 3 that blows your socks off, a design that screams awesome and a performance that shows off what Android can really do. Asus needs to get the word out better, really get cracking on PR as most people don't know that an iPad killer already exists.
Alternative Samsung 10.1 Tab
AMAZON KINDLE FIRE Finally, an iPad hurter if not killer. The ecosystem around it and the price are the real stand-out features. A better screen, 3G, cameras and a nicer looking shell are all up for 2012.
Alternative Nook Tablet
