Best smartphone - Apple iPhone 3GSWINNER - Apple iPhone 3GS
Apple has gone from strength to strength since it launched the original iPhone. Even with minor updates, it remains much easier to use than any of its newer rivals, so it’s no surprise to see the latest version – the iPhone 3GS – is the public’s favourite smartphone. A fantastic OS and an impressive design make it a worthy winner.

Palm PrePalm Pre
Palm’s Pre was one of the most hotly anticipated smartphones in 2009 and only the protracted UK launch date held it back. With great usability and an innovative design, it may well have been a contender had it gone on sale at the same time as the iPhone 3GS.

 

 

HTC MagicHTC Magic
HTC’s Magic is one of the best Android-based handsets we’ve seen so far. The compact design crams in all the features you’re likely to need and it also boasts a highly impressive screen. Only the small touchscreen keyboard lets it down slightly.

    Since then, we’ve seen netbooks from nearly every major manufacturer – several in some cases – which is great for the consumer. It also presents a conundrum, however, as with similar sizes and specifications throughout the market, it makes choosing the right netbook for you even more difficult. Here we take a look at the best, making it easy for you to pick your perfect portable.
