Apple iPhone

It's more expensive than the miniBook but the iPhone surely makes a strong case for being the must-have gadget of 2007 - or at least the most hyped...

The iPhone's sleek looks and touchscreen tech give it plenty of allure but its lasting appeal is down to its user-focused interface (the Apple 'it just works' mantra applies here) and the fact it neatly combines several gadgets into the one device: iPod, internet browser, video player, camera, phone. Just because a lot of other smart phones technically offer the same - or better - functionality counts for nought. The iPhone sells itself.

For those not willing to shell out for an iPhone - and sign up for an 18-month contract with O2 - there is another way... Apple's iPod Touch is an iPhone for those who want the looks and can live without the phone.
