I love all my 2011 tech! I cant wait to see what next year brings

[GordanMFreeman]

I love the fact that the 3DS can do everything the apple products can do, except make a phone call of course.

[DarkPrince]

my favorite tech of the year: the PS VITA

[NagaRunFast]

how is this not a game changing year? the development of a 3ds, new hardware introduced by nvidia, sexy ass phones coming out soon.
Major jump on consoles and even the development of the next generation consoles was because of this year technology.

I am offended by the number of apple products on the thumbnail alone

[wghan]

one day, all these tech will be cheap enough for most of us to buy, so stop hating that you can't afford it now.

Are people hating on this list just because the iPhone was mentioned? These android fanboys need to get a life.

[RhinoSea]

You know it's a shitty year when an iPad gets nominated for "best tech"

@Eysc the 3ds is pretty impressive, i played mario kart 7 the other day anfd it was so fun and trippy

I just bought a samsung galaxy player 4.0 and I love it!!!

Best PC Hardware
■AZio Levetron Mech 4 Gaming Keyboard
■Cybor R.A.T. 7 Albino Gaming Mouse
■NVIDIA 3D Vision 2
■Razer Tiamat 7.1 Gaming Headset

For a headset which without pre-order date, without release date, without any news until now, I promise I will vote the Tiamat to be the winner of the best, the best joke the Razer made in 2011

@skilletrockz23 read the title, it says "Nominees Teaser"

[FoxesKarma]

iPads and iPhones, the only piece of technology that is a year behind, overpriced, and still selling because people honestly believe it's worth it.

[kylecoral]

Too bad my big macs NEVER look that good. Otherwise I'd buy them

[MoonThriller]

how the hell did the kindle fire beat the ipad??

@aafolden
I think the tranformer prime is going to change the game.

[RaychellOmaira]

The 3DS was pretty much the best new tech =)
